The Swingle Singers will perform at 7:30 p.m., Thursday, March 10 in McCrary Theatre, located in the Center for the Arts on the Elon University campus.
The Swingle Singers continue an outstanding music tradition that began more than 30 years ago in Paris, when Ward Swingle formed the group. They became an instant hit, winning Grammies for Best Performance by a Chorus and Best New Artist. When the group disbanded in the seventies, Ward Swingle moved to London and reformed the group, expanding its repertoire to include romantic composers, jazz greats and pop classics. These talented vocalists move effortlessly from a cappella arrangements to orchestral overtures to big band favorites. Elon’s vocal jazz ensemble, élan, will perform two numbers with The Swingle Sisters.
Tickets for the performance are $15, or free with Elon identification. Tickets may be purchased at the McCrary Theatre box office at (336) 278-5610. The box office is open from 12:30 p.m.-5 p.m., Monday-Friday.
