ROCHESTER, Mich. - June 9, 2015 - PRLog -- This summer, a talented group of Oakland University students will share the stage with one of the most iconic music acts of all time. Members of the Oakland University Chorale will perform with the Rolling Stones, as part of the band’s Zip Code Tour, on July 8 at Comerica Park in downtown Detroit. The Oakland University Chorale is among select college choirs chosen to perform on the Rolling Stones’ 2015 North American tour, which features 15 shows across the United States and Canada.

“Our students will be performing with a band as famous as any in the world,” said Oakland University Chorale Conductor, Dr. Michael Mitchell. “Being chosen to sing alongside the Rolling Stones is a thrill for us and to perform at a venue like Comerica Park makes it even more exciting.”

The Oakland University Chorale is the elite touring choral ensemble in Oakland University’s Department of Music, Theatre and Dance. The group maintains a busy concert schedule, which includes frequent appearances with the university’s resident orchestra, the Oakland Symphony Orchestra. The chorale has toured extensively throughout the state and region, as well as to New York and Texas in recent years.
