(November 13, 2023) — Mark your calendars! “Harmonizing Holidays” will be presented by the Middlesex Hospital Vocal Chords (MHVC) on Sunday, December 10, 2023 at 2:00 p.m. This holiday spectacular will be held at Portland High School, 95 High Street in Portland.
Join us for a festive afternoon of music as our ninety-voice chorus and ten-piece orchestra proudly perform a variety of holiday favorites to kick off this joyous season. Members hail from thirty towns in Connecticut and from all walks of life.
Samuel Tucker, our Music Director, has arranged a beautiful program that highlights the wide-ranging talents of this chorus. The voices are rich in satiny harmony. Pieces played by our accompanist, Alan Dougherty, will display warmth and wonder, as we include Irish and French carols, classical, swing, gospel, ballads and, of course, the traditional pieces that you all love so well.
Proceeds from the concert are returned to the community in the form of scholarships presented next spring to graduating Middlesex community high school seniors who plan to pursue a career in music or nursing. Thus far, we have awarded $80,500. We are most grateful to Middlesex Health and to you, our loyal followers, for your continued support.
Tickets are $25. Call 860-347-2787 or 860-342-3120 for tickets, or visit our website at www.vocalchords20.org and like us on Facebook.
