In addition, the group’s website said Tonic Sol-fa has been named one of the top five “must-see” groups in America and has been awarded numerous original song and album awards in pop, gospel and holiday genres, appeared on NBC’s Today Show and in the pages of Newsweek magazine.
In addition to the Feb. 5 performance, the group will offer outreach participation to area students in International Falls, Indus, Littlefork and Northome.
Advance tickets are available at Backus, City Drug and Betty’s in Fort Frances. Tickets will also be available at the door the night of the performance. The cost is $12 for adults; $6 for students; and $25 for families.
A Top the Tater dinner precedes the concert from 5-6:30 p.m. in the Backus dining room.
The concert and outreach program are made possible through a Minnesota State Arts Board grant and additional funding from the Marshall N. Knudson Family Community Fund.
