BOYZ II MEN IN CONCERT Saturday, December 10 at the MACC at 7:30 p.m. Tickets $45, $60 and $75.

Four-time Grammy-award-winning a cappella R&B vocal group Boyz II Men will perform live, celebrating their most recent album, Twenty.

Boyz II Men will perform a concert blending vocals, effects, and elements of classic R&B, as they have been doing for twenty years as the best selling R&B group of all time.

The group has had a steady fan base since their debut in the 1980s, even through several member changes.

The secret to their lengthened success may be their ability to adapt with changes in R&B, music technology, and in the music industry over time.

Tickets can be purchased by calling the MACC Box Office at 242-SHOW or online at MauiArts.org.
