Boerne Performing Arts welcomes composer, musician and producer Neil Berg and his group of musicians and vocalists to perform “50 Years of Rock ‘N Roll.”
After having to cancel the entire 2021 season because of the COVID-19 pandemic, organizers said they are thrilled to reschedule the performance which will bring some of the most talented singers on Broadway and Rock and Roll music to the stage at Boerne Samuel V. Champion High School Auditorium on Saturday, January 29.
The evening will celebrate the iconic music, history and often unknown stories from the first 50-year span of the music that changed the world forever, information from Boerne Performing Arts stated. The music is arranged and woven together by emcee Neil Berg, who “tells the story of America since the 1930s, and all the incredible influences and cultures that make up our ‘melting pot,’ which is poured into the fabric of our music, which influenced generations around the world.”
From the earliest creators of Rock and Roll music in the 1940s, through the glory years of the ‘50s, ‘60s, and ‘70s, up until MTV in the early ‘80s, Neil Berg’s “50 Years of Rock N Roll” uses fascinating stories and groundbreaking music with tributes to such important and iconic rock stars/groups/ genres as Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Elvis Presley, Ray Charles, Buddy Holly, Bob Dylan, Frankie Valli, The Beatles, Beach Boys, Motown, Aretha Franklin, The Who, Janis Joplin, Woodstock, Simon & Garfunkel, Carole King, Led Zeppelin, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel, Aerosmith, Linda Ronstadt, Bruce Springsteen, Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Disco, New Wave, Journey and others, information in a press release stated.
The five talented vocalists performing are drawn from the stars of Broadway’s greatest rock musicals and Rock and Roll artists. Each performer could justifiably headline the entire show, BPA stated, but, as part of an ensemble, each gifted artist lends his or her vocal brilliance to an evening of top-notch entertainment.
In addition to opening the 2022 regular season, the performance also marks Boerne Performing Arts’ 10th anniversary.
Thanks to donors and sponsors, the artists also will present a Boerne Performing Arts for kids concert during school hours for 1,000 BISD fifth-grade and secondary fine arts students.
Before the concert begins, music will be provided in the lobby by the Boerne High School Chamber Singers under the direction of Nancy West. Concessions will be available from the Boerne Charger Orchestra Parent Organization and artwork will be on display by students representing Cibolo Creek, Curington, Fabra, Fair Oaks Ranch, Herff, Kendall and Van Raub elementary schools.
