Local Barbershop Harmony Singers Bring Joy to Holiday Season

NoteAble Blend and Harmony Heritage Members Offer Classic Caroling with a Contemporary Twist

Posted

South Easton, MA (October 25, 2018) — NoteAble Blend and Harmony Heritage women’s a cappella choruses, the Southeast Massachusetts and Rhode Island chapters of Harmony, Incorporated, an international organization of female a cappella singers specializing in the barbershop harmony style, will bring joy to the holiday season with a special performance at the Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church at 2 PM on Saturday, December 8, 2018. The church is located on 701 Foundry Street in South Easton, Ma. The choruses will put a contemporary spin on classic caroling, and the performance will blend traditional holiday tunes with an entertaining mix of other repertoire.

“This holiday program is one of the highlights of our year,” says Kim Thompson, Harmony Heritage, chapter president, “and we are pleased to once again be joining NoteAble Blend. The choruses will bring to the audience a memorable performance that’s sure to be a staple in their holiday traditions.”
The performance is open to the public, and good will donations will be accepted at the door. All donations will benefit the Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church. The show will feature performances from two choruses and several chapter quartets, as well as raffles, refreshments and a lot of good old 4-part a cappella music to start the holiday season.

The NoteAble Blend and Harmony Heritage choruses sing 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.
