The first Edwina Rooker Commemorative Concert will be held at Cherry Hill Plantation on Sunday, July 31st at 3:00 PM. The Three Triangle Tenors will present “Summer Rhapsody” as a tribute to the longtime supporter of the Cherry Hill Historic Foundation and former Warrenton resident, Edwina Rooker. Ms. Rooker, a fan of the Cherry Hill Concert Series, was also a devotee of jazz, beach music, Broadway and Hollywood themes, and popular music of her youth. As a tribute to Ms. Rooker, the performers will sing Broadway show tunes, folk songs, and well-known opera arias. In addition, a special arrangement by pianist Catherine Hamner of “Deep Purple” will be presented. Ms. Rooker loved to play that particular piece, and it will be played and/or sung as the signature piece at each of the annual Rooker Concerts.
