On September 24 starting at 3:00 PM, the group will perform familiar and memorable songs in a program titled “Songs of Your Life” at Richmond’s Congregational Church. The Chorus is a regular feature at Burlington’s First Night events. They also appear at major fundraisers, private and civic events and at competitions in the Northeast, where they rank consistently among the top four-part harmony groups. In addition to songs by the entire company, they also feature individual barbershop quartets that mix vaudeville and comedy with their musical numbers. One of these quartets, “Chordination,” is the current Mountain Division Champion of The Barbershop Harmony Society. This is their first performance in the Richmond, Huntington Bolton area. The event is hosted by the Bolton-Huntington-Richmond Community Senior Center, with net proceeds to benefit the non-profit organization. Advance tickets at $17.00 per person can be purchased by personal check payable to the Community Senior Center. They are available at the Richmond Town Hall Clerk’s office, and by mail, and held on a “will call” basis on the day of the event.
