Now that the Total Solar Eclipse is behind us, and springtime is nudging its way into our lives again, it is time to celebrate that big yellow orb in the sky. Here Comes the Sun! is the sunshine (and moonbeam)-themed concert being performed by the Brockport University-Community Chorus on Saturday, May 11, at 7:30 p.m., in the Tower Fine Arts Center, 180 Holley Street, on the SUNY Brockport campus. Ticket prices are $17/general, $12/seniors, SUNY Brockport alumni, faculty, and staff, and $9/students and are available online at fineartstix.brockport.edu, by phone at 585-395-2787 or at the Tower Box Office.
The chorus’ music director, Lisa Lancia, has programmed an evening of music that will take the audience on a celestial tour, including stars, the moon, the sun, and everything else in the skies above us. From a kyrie based on Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata” to the moon in the seventh house in a medley of Hair’s “Aquarius” and “Let the Sunshine In;” from the (sea of) tranquility of “Moon River” to the marvelous night for a “Moondance;” from the moon hitting your eye in “That’s Amore” to George Harrison’s Beatles classic “Here Comes the Sun,” the evening will be a night for celebration.
