The Four Roses play country-style music in the tradition of greats such as Dick Curless, Stonewall Jackson, Red Sovine, and Johnny Russell. Singer, Virgil Rose, writes songs about things like drinking because his wife left him for his best friend, drinking because he was in a horrible industrial accident, drinking because he was left behind when the rapture came, and also songs about his devotion to the Lord.

Squonk Opera and the Lively Arts College of Fine Arts Performance Plus present Indiana County: The Opera.
Come celebrate Indiana County with a new installment in our ‘Hometown Series’, a show that has been called “noisy, colorful, funny, outrageous” by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and “a quirky, playful, music- and image-driven piece of performance art “ by the Tribune Review.
Our show is not exactly ‘opera’, but a multi-media live concert that weaves music with video projections, props and puppets. To see more of what we do, check out our website at http://www. squonkopera. org.
Indiana County: The Opera includes amazing Indiana based dance and choral groups, and lots of video interviews with Indiana County residents.

What people have been whispering about is TRUE! Strange sightings… Unexplained phenomena. . . scientific anomalies… Squonk Opera will be responding to the cover-ups with… ASTRO - RAMA!
With 3 stories of scaffolding and a 40 ft radio telescope, Squonk Opera will take you on a wild visual and musical celebration of the universe and our place in it.
Part symphony, part cacophony, Astro-Rama dares to go where no multi-media/theater/performance group has gone before.
Rising in scissor lift platforms and cherry pickers, Squonk will compose a proud message from our species, power up and transmit.
Stand with us, and the truth will be revealed.
Pittsburgh, PA at Schenley Plaza, Oakland October 15-18, 2008

What do you give a city that has everything? Why not its own opera! Help kick off the 250th birthday year of the 'burgh with the return of Squonk Opera's roast/toast of the formerly smoky city in a little show we call Pittsburgh: The Opera! We debuted this show in June of 2006 and sold out the run, so we're bringing it back for 4 shows only, January 17-20 at the Kelly-Strayhorn Theater in East Liberty (or Eastside as some people like to call it). Since the last run of Pittsburgh: The Opera, we’ve done operas for Baltimore, St Louis, Albany, College Park, Columbia, Chester County and South Orange as part of our touring series (put your hometown's name here): The Opera. But none of them compare to Pittsburgh. So redd up your room, grab your terrible towel and tap your inner yinzer for a rollicking good time with all of the other jagoffs. Yinz better be there!

"In order to be really hip, you can’t have any notion of being hip. And that’s what Pittsburgh is. No one thinks this place is hip. So, it is the hippest place on earth!” -Rick Sebak from Pittsburgh: The Opera
