Harmony Singers mark 50 years with two special shows
April 23 and 24
Harmony Singers Annual Show
The Harmony Singers of Pittsburgh will celebrate its 50th year with shows on April 23 and 24 at Chartiers Valley Intermediate School, Scott Twp. Saturday’s show begins at 7:30 p.m.; Sunday’s show is at 2:30 p.m.
“I Have a Song to Sing-50 Years of Harmony” features some of the group’s favorite songs from the past 50 years, including: “Can’t Help Falling in Love with You,” “Dream” and “Sit Down You’re Rockin’ the Boat.” A special feature of the show will be the performance of “Pittsburgh Town,” with words and music by the late composer Thomas (Tommy Earl) Frobe.
Originally formed as the Westminster Community Singers in 1966, the name was changed to the Bob Locklin Singers in 1967. In 1969, the first Don Brockett Musical Comedy Show was produced. The name was changed to the Harmony Singers in 1976 and since that time the spring show has become an annual event.
Cynthia G. Pratt is the choral director; Carol Karl is the accompanist.
Tickets are $12 for adults and $10 for seniors and children under 12, and are available from cast members or at the door. Discounted tickets, $9 for groups of 10 or more, may be purchased in advance by calling 724-941-5343.
A free-will collection will take place after each performance for the benefit of the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank.
