Silk City Chorus Annual Show

The renowned Silk City Barbershop Chorus of Manchester launches its 54th year with its annual show on Saturday, January 14th at the Manchester High School Auditorium. Show times are 1:30 PM and 7:30 PM.

The title of this year’s show is “Send In The Clown”, a parody on the world of the Circus. The 40 performing members of the Silk City Chorus will be hard at work perfecting their circus routines while performing entertaining songs about their dreams of a life in the circus.

Among the songs the chorus will perform are “Send In The Clowns”, “The Lion Sleeps Tonight”, “The Song Is Ended”, and a fun spoof on circus life: “A Bird In A Gilded Cage”.

In addition to the host chorus performance, the 54th annual show will feature two world class a cappella groups: SIGNATURE, a quartet from Florida which earned Bronze Medals in the 2016 International Barbershop Championship. They will be followed by “FOREFRONT”, Gold Medal champions at the 2016 International Barbershop Championship from Ohio.

Also appearing in the show will be the RENSSELYRICS, a popular a cappella group from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY, who perform their own arrangements of contemporary music.
