Tickets on sale for UNC Clef Hangers concert at Sunset Theatre

The UNC Clef Hangers student a cappella group will return to Asheboro at 4 p.m. Sunday, March 22, for a concert at the Sunset Theatre sponsored by the Asheboro Public Library Foundation Inc. (APLF).

   

Tickets are $15, and are on sale now at the Asheboro Public Library and the Randolph Arts Guild, and from APLF members. They also can be purchased by mail with checks payable to APLF, P.O. Box 1601, Asheboro, NC 27204.

Any remaining tickets will be available at the door.

The 17-member Clef Hangers perform a range of pop and folk songs, including the a cappella favorite “Africa” and the group’s signature tune, “Carolina in My Mind.”

In November, the Clef Hangers sang holiday tunes on the QVC channel’s most popular show, “In the Kitchen with David,” hosted by David Venable, an alumnus of the group.

The group’s annual fall performance at UNC’s Memorial Hall in October drew an audience of 1,300.

Founded in 1977, the Clef Hangers performed their first concert in April 1978 in the Pit. Since then, they have toured the world, recorded 19 albums and appeared on ABC’s Good Morning America. The group most recently performed here in 2011 to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the APLF.

This concert is a fundraiser for the APLF, which manages investments and provides funding to support major Asheboro Public Library initiatives.
