Newton South High School

The long, cold winter is finally behind us! Come celebrate spring with an evening of fantastic music by Rock Voices, Newton’s only community rock choir! Our 100+ members and a professional live band will perform hits by your favorite artists: The Beatles, Jimmy Cliff, Grateful Dead, Three Dog Night, Suzanne Vega, the Doobie Brothers, Crosby Stills Nash &amp; Young, Billy Strings, Fitz and the Tantrums, The Weepies, and more! We guarantee you’ll be humming when you leave the concert!
In keeping with Rock Voices’ mission of “healing ourselves and others through song,” a gift basket raffle at the concert will benefit the West Newton Cinema Foundation, supporting efforts to restore the historic 1937 art deco-style movie theater and create a revitalized focal point for film and culture in the community. 
Rock Voices represents everything that is wonderful about the Newton area: a sense of community, a love of music, and a desire to share that joy with others. Join us as we bring all this energy to our concert on April 25th!
