Rock Valley Children’s Choir

The Rock Valley Children’s Choir (RVCC), a performing and education choral organization, was established by Leah Baskin and Dean Durst in 2002 as part of the music program offerings for children within the Community Education Division of Rock Valley College. Beginning as one small choir, the program has grown to become four separate choruses: “Do-Re-Mi Singers” for grades one through three, “Music Makers Chorus” for grades four through eight, the audition-based “Crescendo Choir” for grades six through eight, and “Encore” for grades nine through twelve.

In 2006, the RVCC formed a partnership with the Mendelssohn Performing Arts Center (MPAC) in downtown Rockford. In 2012, the RVCC will become the anchor group for the new Mendelssohn Music and Movement Education Center, located in the MPAC building. Being a part of the downtown cultural corridor gives RVCC exciting new opportunities to grow and mature as musicians.

The RVCC has sung in concert with the Mendelssohn Chamber Orchestra, Mendelssohn Chorale, Rockford Symphony Orchestra, Rock Valley Master Chorale, and Kantorei, the Singing Boys of Rockford. RVCC has performed at the Coronado Performing Arts Center, toured at regional libraries and museums, sung for the opening of a Smithsonian Institute exhibition, participated in youth choral festivals (including their fi rst week-long festival tour in 2011) and performed for public and private civic groups in the greater Rockford area.

Weekly rehearsals and optional Saturday workshops provide many occasions for students in RVCC to grow both as singers and responsi-ble citizens. Director Leah Baskin brings a variety of learning experi-ences and styles, including Kodaly, Orff, and High/Scope Movement approaches, with Linda Smith helping as the RVCC’s accompanist and assistant director. Plus, unique to RVCC are the annual charity-themed fall concerts and spring “Singer’s Songbook” repertoire concerts, in which all singers learn two dozen songs from the great American heritage of songs for inter generational community singing. These activities honor our musical past and support our community’s future.

Music

The Rock Valley Children’s Choir (RVCC),a performing and education choral organization, was established by Leah Baskin and Dean Durst in 2002 as part of the music program offerings for children within the Community Education Division of Rock Valley College.

The RVCC has sung in concert with the Mendelssohn Chamber Orchestra, Mendelssohn Chorale, Rockford Symphony Orchestra, Rock Valley Master Chorale, and Kantorei, the Singing Boys of Rockford. RVCC has performed at the Coronado Performing Arts Center, toured at regional libraries and museums, sung for the opening of a Smithsonian Institute exhibition, participated in youth choral festivals (including their first week-long festival tour in 2011) and performed for public and private civic groups in the greater Rockford area.

Weekly rehearsals and optional Saturday workshops provide many occasions for students in RVCC to grow both as singers and responsible citizens. Director Leah Baskin brings a variety of learning experiences and styles, including Kodaly, Orff, and High/Scope Movement approach-es, with Linda Smith helping as the RVCC’s accompanist and assistant director. Plus, unique to RVCC are the annual charity-themed fall concerts and spring “Singer’s Songbook” repertoire concerts, in which all singers learn two dozen songs from the great American heritage of songs for inter generational community singing. These activities honor our musical past and support our community’s future.

Do-Re-Mi Singers(Grades 1-3) Activities designed for beginning singers, including correct vocal technique, ear training games, simple note reading and rhythm reading, music games, dancing, and playing simple instruments.

Raindrop The raindrop technique involves the amazing power of essential oils, mixed with a variety of massage techniques, including backmassage,vitaflexmassageand heat application. The technique is designed to bring

the body back into structural and electrical alignment. Often many types of spinal problems and misalignments are caused by toxins that lie dormant within the spine. The use of essential oils helps to dispose of these viruses within the spine, helping its structure return to normal. The raindrop technique can be used as a tool to provide a healthy balance to the body. Essential oils also stimulate the nerves and the re-growth of tissue.

Bamboo Massage Bamboo massage is a technique that incorporates bamboo stalks of varying lengths and diameters to provide deep-tissue work. Some practi-tioners combine elements of shiatsu, traditional Chinese medicine, Thai massage, lymphatic drainage, ayurveda and sometimes sticks are heated or essential oils are incorporated into the techniques. The massage itself promotes circulation, sensory nerve perception, and lymphatic drainage and provides a deep sense of relaxation and well-being. An added benefit for the practitioner is that using the bamboo sticks helps to reduce stress and strain on hands and fingers while still allowing for deeply penetrating maneuvers. Bring a massage table to class and wear comfortable clothing andshoes.7CEhoursforMassageTherapists.RegisterbySeptember2.RefundPolicy-NorefundsafterSeptember2.

Shakespeare’s funniest and most popular comedy!

A Midsummer Night’s DreamBy William ShakespeareSeptember 26-October 6, 2012

Auditions August 21 & 22, 2012

“A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” William Shakespeare’s most popular comedy, was written around 1594 or 95. It portrays the adventures of four young lovers and a group of amateur actors, their interactions with woodland fairies and a duke and duch-ess. Taking place in a mythical Athens and an enchanted forest, there is a handsome fairy king, a misguided parent, star-crossed lovers, a weaver who’s transformed into a half-donkey, wood sprites and elves. This work is widely performed around the world, and no wonder—it’s about the world’s most popular pastime, falling in love. But as Puck knows, falling in love can make fools of us all.

By Popular Demand! Special limited return – the Rock musical – you know you want to see again!

Rocky Horror ShowBook, Music & Lyrics by Richard O’BrienOctober 18-20, 2012

PERFORMANCES ARE ON THE BENGT SJOSTROM/ STARLIGHT STAGE

That sweet transvestite and his motley crew did the time warp live on stage before they did it on film in the cult hit movie. Complete with sass from the audience, cascading toilet paper and an array of other audience participation props, this deliberately kitschy rock ‘n’ roll sci fi gothic is more fun than anything that we can think of. Last season’s sleeper hit will be back by popular demand, just in time for Halloween, so you can come to the most fun costume party in the area! Dress up as a character or come as your own character and see the show live—so “Let’s Do the Time Warp—again!” We’ll be offering the necessary props for sale before each show.Two shows nightly one at 8 pm and the other, for the diehard fans - at midnight!

“A socko wacko weirdo rock concert.”–WNBC TV.

“A musical that deals with mutating identity and time warps becomes one of the most mutated, time warped phenomena in show business.”–N.Y. Times.

“Campy trash.”–Time.

The Original RVC Studio Theatre Christmas Hit returns!

Christmas with the ConroysBy Thomas W. ZackDecember 5-15, 2012

Auditions October 15 & 16, 2012

A maniac in a ski cap, brandishing a cookie cutter, bursts into the room. She demands the candied cherries. She seizes the sugar sprinkles. The walls ooze with pine, tinsel and lights.

The furniture is almost visible under quilts, pillows, doilies and streamers. The Christmas tree looks like a cruise missile. Welcome to the Conroy’s home as they prepare themselves for “the nicest Christmas ever.” Join us for the long awaited return of one of Studio’s most popular plays ever.

The naughty, and oh so funny, new musical! Full puppet nudity, tastefully done!

Avenue QMusic and Lyrics by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx Book by Jeff Whitty Based on an original concept by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx Adult Themes Rated R February 6-16, 2013

Auditions December 10 & 11, 2012

AVENUE Q is a gut-bustingly hilarious modern musical focusing on a group of unique 20-somethings making their way in the big city, seeking their purpose in life. Although the show addresses humorous adult issues, it is similar to a be-loved children’s show; a place where puppets are friends, Monsters are good and life lessons are learned.Winner of the Tony “Triple Crown” for Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book, AVENUE Q is part flesh, part felt, and packed with heart. AVENUE Q is a laugh-out-loud musical that tells the timeless story of a recent college grad named Princeton who moves into a shabby New York apartment all the way out on Avenue Q. He soon discovers that although the residents seem nice, it’s clear that this is not your ordinary neighborhood. Together, Princeton and his new-found friends struggle to find jobs, dates, and their ever-elusive purpose in life.

Dame Christie’s only Comedic Thriller!

Fiddler’s ThreeBy Agatha ChristieMarch 20-30, 2013

Auditions February 18 & 19, 2013

Join us as we present our annual salute to Dame Christie and her extraordinary work of murder mystery plays. “Fid-dler’s Three” is actually the last play Agatha Christie wrote, which combines a thriller theme with comedy situations. It originally opened in Cambridge as “Fiddlers Five” in 1971, and was rewritten the following year under the new title. The chief conspirators, Sam Fletcher and Sally Blunt, slip from deviousness into actual crime when they try to conceal the iden-tity of a corpse in order to obtain money which they need for legitimate business. To their surprise, the corpse turns out to have been murdered, but by then they are too involved to pull out. The plot is absolute Christie “ too implausible” and the ending is delightfully “forced” but pure Christie.
