The Show Must Go On:

the music of

Queen

April 28th & 29th, 2023 – 7:30 pm

There are very few bands in rock and roll history whose music is as unique, exciting, entertaining, and unforgettable as the music of Queen. In the last performance of the Uptown Music Collective’s performance season, the students will take on these rock legends and perform this immortal music complete with an epic stage and light show, and with all the skill, passion, and excitement that people have come to expect from the school’s students.

Note: Tickets for this performance will be “reserved seating”, no longer “general admission”. You will pick your seats on the CAC website when you order tickets!
