An Evening of Barbershop in Solon November 4, 2011
Solon, 10/11/11—Can’t get enough of the acapella vocal groups popping up on YouTube?  Be a part of the acapella vocal craze that is sweeping the nation as Solon High School’s Music in Motion Presents ‘An Evening of Barbershop’.  
Solon High School’s Show Choir, Music In Motion, is hosting a benefit concert featuring the dynamic champion Barbershop Vocal Spectrum, on Friday, November 4 at 7:30 p.m. in the high school auditorium, 33600 Inwood Road. This brilliant quartet won the 2006 International Quartet Championship and is one of the most sought young quartets in the world.   They are the first and only quartet to win all three possible medals (Collegiate Quartet, Men’s Quartet, and Chorus Medal).
