Updated as of 12/18/09 at 1:10pm:

Owing to the impending storm, we have rescheduled tomorrow’s two  Rockapella performances.  These performances will now take place on Saturday, January 30, 2010 at 2 PM and 8 PM.

Patrons holding tickets for tomorrow’s performances may use the tickets on the rescheduled date, and need to take no further action.

Patrons who are unable to attend the performances on the rescheduled date may exchange their tickets for another performance this spring, they may donate the tickets back to the Center, or they may request a refund.  Refund requests must be made to the ticket office at the Center for the Arts
prior to the rescheduled performances on Jan. 30th.

We find it very difficult to not follow the old adage, “the show must go on”, but we believe that it is in the best interests of the audience and the artists to avoid the risks that the weather presents.  We appreciate the willingness of the artists to reschedule these performances, and we very much appreciate your understanding in dealing with this change.

EVENT DESCRIPTION:
“Some say the best musical instrument of all is the human voice—if you’ve seen Rockapella you know that’s the truth,” says USA Today. This five-man a cappella powerhouse delighted audiences when they last appeared at the Center. This season, Rockapella returns with such holiday classics as "Angels We Have Heard On High" and "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," as well as popular new pieces like "Little Mary Snowflake," a funky new version of "The Dreidel Song," and "Matunda Ya Kwanzaa," an original composition honoring the celebration of African culture. Young and old alike are drawn to Rockapella’s humor, style, and artistry; their amazing and innovative “vocal percussion”; and their winning combination of soul, rock, R&B, and jazz. Often remembered for their Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? theme, Rockapella tours widely each year and performs regularly on television and radio.

Single Tickets are on sale now!
