Calling All Female Singers! Sing in a Holiday Show at LaSalette Shrine

Harmony Heritage Chorus, the Pawtucket, RI chapter of Harmony, Incorporated, an international organization of female a cappella singers specializing in the barbershop harmony style, is inviting female singers of all ages and musical backgrounds to sing with them as guest singers in a special holiday concert to be held at the LaSalette Shrine auditorium in Attleboro, MA. Beginning October 14th and continuing weekly through early December, guest singers will need to attend the first hour of regular weekly Tuesday night rehearsals, from 7pm-8pm at Epworth United Methodist Church on 915 Newport Avenue, Pawtucket, RI. Guests will learn 5 holiday songs, including some old favorites and some lesser known pieces. Rehearsals will culminate with participation in the December 6th a cappella holiday show, featuring over 100 singers from three award winning choruses, including a men's chorus from Providence and a women’s chorus from Sweet Adelines International. Participation is free, and no further commitment is required. For more information about the Holiday Chorus, call Shelley Pray at 401-226-5192 or at [email protected]. “Almost every one of our members came for the music, but each of us stayed for the camaraderie and the friendship,” says Camilla Streeter, chapter president. “We welcome women who like to sing, even if it’s just in the privacy of their cars.” The Harmony Heritage chorus is an award-winning chapter of Harmony, Inc. that performs under the direction of Bob O’Connell, an accomplished director, performer, arranger and musician. “It’s important to note that barbershop harmony is often considered the ‘everyman’s a cappella,” says O’Connell. “Members don’t need to have a lot of musical experience, formal training, or even have the ability to read music. As long as she loves to sing, we have the tools to help her find success in barbershop harmony.” Harmony Heritage chorus primarily sings in the barbershop harmony style, which traces its musical roots back to the turn of the 20th century. Today, barbershop harmony singers not only celebrate the classics, but also put their own spin on contemporary songs as well. Rehearsal parking is in the church lot and on the section of Crescent Road that is next to the church. Attendees enter the building through the back entrance, and rehearsals take place in the church basement. For more information about Harmony Heritage chorus, visit www.harmonyheritage.org .
