Oldies fans are invited to wear their best ‘50s or ‘60s outfits to come hear Bucks County-based male a cappella group Cordus Mundi’s “Cordus Pops II” concert and win free prizes, at 3 p.m. Sunday, at Trinity Episcopal Church in Solebury.
“Cordus Pops II,” a collection of well-known popular favorites covering the past few decades, includes music from George Gershwin, Dion DiMucci, Fred Parris, Sting, John Phillips, Elton John, Doc Pomus, Erroll Garner, a couple of fellas named Lennon and McCartney, and more.
Several individual Cordus Mundi members, including tenors George Caucci and Scott Totten, baritones Michael Cosdon and Eric Muth, and instrumentalists Jim Peters and Rick Rosen, will play solo roles on various pieces.
“Although it’ll have a few twists and turns, a Cordus Pops concert by definition is going to be largely about 50s and 60s oldies,” noted group artistic director Rosen.
“We want to pay homage to those decades and have some fun, so we’ll be awarding limited-edition, suitable-for-framing, first-edition Cordus concert poster collections to any/every concert-goer who comes wearing 50s or 60s attire or carrying 50s or 60s accessories.”
Rosen added, “Also, in the true spirit of the 60s, we’ll be giving away free copies of our “Unforgettable” CD to each and every attendee.”
The “Cordus Pops II” concert will be held at Trinity Episcopal Church, 6587 Upper York Road in Solebury on April 2. For those unable to attend the live performance, a video of the performance will be made available for online viewing beginning one week later, on April 9.
Tickets for the online video option are available at the group’s website (www.cordusmundi.com). Tickets for the live performance are $20 (no charge for children under 12) and are available from Cordus Mundi members, at the website or at the door.
