4 Atlantic Records Recording Artists SEE THE A CAPPELLA SENSATION LIVE! Straight No Chaser October 29, 2012 Orr Auditorium 7:30 p.m. 35 Million You Tube Viewers 500,000 Albums Sold 100s of SOLD OUT Concerts 10 Incredible Voices If the phrase male a cappella group conjures up an image of students in blue blazers, ties, and khakis singing traditional college songs on ivied campuses think again. Straight No Chaser (SNC) are neither strait-laced nor straight-faced. They are reinventing the idea of a cappella on the modern pop landscape. Originally formed over a dozen years ago while students together at Indiana University, the group has reassembled and reemerged as a phenomenon with a massive fan base, over 35 million views on YouTube, numerous national TV appearances, and proven success with two holiday releases. In an era when so much pop music is the product of digital processing and vocal pro-tooling, Straight No Chaser is the real deal the captivating sound of ten unadulterated human voices coming together to make extraordinary music that is moving people in a fundamental sense and with a sense of humor.

The NTC production is probably the most widely produced production of Dickens in the nation, annually performing for more than 100,000 people in more than 60 cities across the country. Twenty-eight performers bring Dickens fable of redemption to life as the staging evokes a three-dimensional Victorian Christmas card that literally leaps to life as the setting for one of the most powerful stories of kindness, redemption and the healing powers of the holiday spirit. A full array of traditional Christmas carols is woven into the classic story of Ebenezer Scrooge. Sponsored by
