Brian and Jenny Stubbs and friends return to Grand Rapids this Tuesday, June 28th to share the music they are making with their Brainerd friends. Hear them in concert at St. Andrew's Lutheran Church Noon to 12:45.
Consensus is a Brainerd-based a cappella group, performing an eclectic mix of standard choral works, popular arrangements, and jazz standards. The nine-member group formed in 2011 to create anopportunity to socialize and to sing music with a high degree of polish.
The concert opens with "You Are the New Day" by John David, arr. Peter Knight, followed by an eclectic mix of choral gems. The closing number "Seaside Rendezvous" by Freddie Mercury, arr. Paul Hart and sung by only 9 wonderful vocalists, is guaranteed to hold us in thrall.
Brian moved to Brainerd years ago after directing the Grand Rapids High School vocal program Those of you who were privileged to sing under his direction remember the wonderful humor and intensity with which he finessed a number. At one point, he was so energized that he challenged the altos in his ecumenical choir to sing a high G and demonstrated that he could do so. No excuses! Just pure music.
The concert is, as always, funded by your generous donations. This year you are encouraged to refer Itasca County music majors in their third year of university studies for a scholarship. Applications are available from all committee members and are due Aug. 1.
That's St. Andrew's Lutheran Church just off N. Highway 38 at the last stoplight before you leave Rapids at noon, Tuesday, June 28th.
