A highlight of the Memorable Musicals and Uplifting Songs concert is an audience sing-along with the choir, featuring Somewhere Over the Rainbow and other well-known songs.
The Silver Tones is a choir of mature-aged men and women who love to sing. The full choir, the ladies, the men, soloists and an instrumentalist will delight you with numbers from South Pacific, Guys and Dolls, Les Miserables, Sound of Music, and Brigadoon.
Other program highlights include Verdi’s beautiful Slaves Chorus, the Toreador Song from Bizet’s Carmen, That’s an Irish Lullaby, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s You’ll Never Walk Alone, and a medley of Beatles hits - there is something for everyone.
Harrington choir member Doreen Zimmerman says she is looking forward to a bigger crowd this year.
“While we drew a reasonable audience last year, we would really like to ‘do a Sinfonia’ and fill the church as the orchestra did in June,” Doreen says.
Silver Tones musical director, Taree musician Pam Archer OAM, is proud of the choir’s charity fund-raising efforts. “We’ve raised $9000 in the last three years, with this year’s takings going to the Taree Women’s Refuge,” she says.
Tickets are available at the door from 1.30pm, $10 for adults, $5 for children. A gold coin donation gets you afternoon tea during interval. Be early for good seats, and BYO cushion!
