The Silk City Chorus Performs on May 22

The Somers Congregational Church Will Host The Silk City Chorus

On Sunday, May 22, at 4PM the Silk City Chorus will perform a concert of familiar songs, old and new, in the sanctuary of the Somers Congregational Church. Please join us for a fun afternoon of a cappella harmony. The Music and Arts Committee will be collecting donations at the door. All of the proceeds will go to the church’s operating budget. And for men who like to sing, plan to talk with the chorus members at the reception following the performance.

The Silk City Chorus is a 62 member chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society, an international organization dedicated to singing four part harmony in the barbershop style. The chorus has been located in Manchester since 1963 and ranks as one of the premier choruses in southern New England. Under the capable direction of Todd Lamson, it has been named Yankee Division Chorus Champion for 9 of the last 10 years. For 2016 the chorus placed 5th in the Northeastern District (New England, eastern New York and the Canadian maritime provinces). For further information, please visit www.silkcitychorus.org.
