The renowned Silk City Barbershop Chorus continues its 53ed season with a spectacular evening of wine tasting, food and entertainment on Saturday, May 14th at Manchester’s historic Cheney Hall. Seatings are 5:00 PM and 7:30 PM.

Cheney Hall will come to life with this special performance titled “Voices and Vino!” The chorus will entertain as our patrons enjoy a wonderful sampling of fine wines, carefully paired with outstanding light fare prepared by renowned chef Dotti Cannon.

Chef Cannon is the award winning principal of Brown Sugar Catering, a fixture of the Manchester food scene since 2005.

The 4 course wine tasting will take our patrons on a journey to Washington State, France and Argentina, where each of the exceptional wine selections originate.
