Waukee Area Arts Council Presents Roslyn Stone Saturday at ArtsCentral

Submitted by the Waukee Area Arts Council

The Waukee Area Arts Council presents vocal ensemble  Roslyn Stone Saturday, Nov. 10 at 7 p.m. at ArtsCentral. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for students and are available at the Waukee Hardware or at the door.

Roslyn Stone is a women’s vocal ensemble that specialize in a blend of ancient and modern music. In its current incarnation they have five singers and one vocal percussionist. Some of their repertoire includes a modernized 13th century Troubadour song, Renaissance madrigals, Celtic songs, Jazz and Broadway standards, rock anthems by Fleetwood Mac and Van Morison and modern classics by Ani DiFranco and K.T. Tunstall.

“This new group embraces a huge range of styles and makes each piece their own,” said Cindy DePond, Waukee Area Arts Council. “I know we are in for a wonderful eclectic evening of vocal harmonizing.”

The group’s director Sarah Hobart formed Roslyn Stone a little over a year ago. The current lineup of singers have all been classically trained to some extent, and have been in many choral ensembles. In their first year, Roslyn Stone has performed at The Festival of Trees and Lights, The Salisbury House, Fourth Street Theater, The Des Moines Arts Festival, and in their home base of Unity Church where they will once again hold a holiday concert in December.
