SUN DEC 4: Get into the Spirit of the Season with "Winter Music" Sung by The Roxborough Male Chorus!

Silver bells, hear them ring when The Roxborough Male Chorus presents its next concert entitled “Winter Music” on Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 3 pm at Leverington Presbyterian Church, 6301 Ridge Avenue at Hermitage Street, in Roxborough, the northwest section of Philadelphia, PA.

The Roxborough Male Chorus under the direction of Kevin Chun will sing favorite songs from Broadway musicals and a variety of seasonal classical and contemporary carols in four-part harmony. To put the audience in the spirit of the holiday season, the audience will be invited to join in for the Christmas Carol Sing-a-long, too.

Producing two concerts a year, during the spring and winter seasons, The Roxborough Male Chorus began in 1923. Its first director, W.C. Ames, and its first accompanist, William E. Tippet, created the singing group for men, who loved music and resided in and around the neighborhood.

RMC members include: Basses, Harry Dews, Peter Gowen, Bob Konowol, Bruce McNeel, and Ted Ongirski; Baritones, Mike Duffy, Bob McClenahan, and Dave McClenahan; 2nd Tenors: Alan Ankeny, Wayne Dunlap, and Scott Santo; and 1st Tenors, John Barkley and Larry Hastings. Conductor Kevin Chun is past organist and choir director of St. John the Baptist (Manayunk) and St. Margaret’s Church (Narberth) and a frequent guest organist for churches of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Lois Terry, member of St. Peter’s Lutheran (Lafayette Hill) and pianist for Andorra Baptist, will provide piano accompaniment.

The RMC will present “Winter Concert” for the residents of Masonic Village of Lafayette Hill and the residents of the Roxborough Home for Women. For more information about booking a concert or becoming a member, contact Alan Ankeny, President of The Roxborough Male Chorus [215-753-0203].
