Chesco Pops returns to Oxford Area High School for February 4 concert

The Chester County Pops Orchestra will conclude its winter 2012 concert series with a performance at Oxford Area High School, 705 Waterway Road, East Nottingham, on Saturday, February 4 at 3 p.m. Tickets are $15 for adults, $12 for seniors and $5 for students, and free for children 12 and under, and will be available at the door.

Titled “From Basin Street to Broadway: A Tribute to America’s Musical Roots,” selections will include a Sousa march, Richard Rodgers’ “Carousel Waltz,” “Swing Low Sweet Chariot,” Ragtime selections, a tribute to Louis Armstrong, selections from Chicago and a performance by the newly formed Chesco Pops Dixieland Band.

Founded in 2005, the 65-piece orchestra comprises many of the county’s finest players. Consistent with its mission, in its four-year history the Pops has presented concerts at more than a dozen Chester County venues, including eight at Oxford Area High School.

Orchestra director Jacques Voois noted that the school is one of the orchestra’s favorite places to play. “The high school auditorium is a real gem,” he said. “It has both visual beauty and acoustical integrity. In my opinion, Oxford has the finest high school auditorium in Chester County.”

For the February 4 concert, the Pops is proud to be partnering and revenue-sharing with the Oxford Area Senior Center. A percentage of all ticket revenue will be donated to the Center. 

"Concertgoers will not only enjoy great performances of Pops favorites, but will be supporting the ongoing activities of the Senior Center," said Mr. Voois.
