DCCA presents
unique A Cappella group at St. Claire Memorial Hall
Darke County Center for the Arts will present VoicePlay in concert at
Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall in Greenville on Saturday, January 23.
According to DCCA Artistic director Keith Rawlins, VoicePlay began as a
street corner barbershop act before evolving into an internationally
acclaimed touring sensation. “The group takes the timeless sound of
vocal music, and turns it into an amazing stage show, moving between
eras and styles and incorporating hilarious on-stage theatrics,
ultimately producing the orchestrated sound of an entire musical using
nothing but the human voice,” Rawlins explained. “Since appearing on
Season 4 of NBC's The Sing-Off, they've collaborated with Disney and
toured extensively, winning fans around the world,” he stated. Curtain
time for the show is 8 p.m.
“Fans of pop, rock, doo-wop, rhythm and blues, and jazz are all drawn
to contemporary a cappella groups,” Rawlins said, noting that a
cappella music has officially hit the mainstream, and is popular with
listeners of all ages. Utilizing the full talents of its five members
who collectively cover a vocal range of over 5 octaves, VoicePlay
uniquely creates music without accompaniment that can sound as though a
full orchestra is backing up the singers.
Gordon Orthodontics and Greenville Technology Inc. are sponsoring the
concert by Voice Play. Additionally, the Ohio Arts Council helped fund
this program with state tax dollars to encourage economic growth,
educational excellence and cultural enrichment for all Ohioans. DCCA
also receives operating support from the Harry D. and Esther Stephens
Memorial as well as funding from the Ketrow Foundation and Lydia E.
Schaurer Memorial Trust Fund.
VoicePlay will also perform for high school students in local schools
January 19 through 22; these shows are free and open to the public.
