Hamilton-Gibson Choir Benefit Concert

March 21 at 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
$16.00

The Hamilton-Gibson Treble Choir hosts their annual spring fundraising concert—this year entitled “What Were You Singing in 1971?”—on Friday and Saturday, March 20 and 21 at 7:30pm at the Vineyard Church at 45 Charleston Street in Wellsboro. The concert raises money for the choir’s annual spring tour.

The choir will sing John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads” and “Annie’s Song,” Three Dog Night’s “Joy to the World,” George Harrison’s “Here Comes the Sun,” and others. The concert will feature a few of the parents of the group singing and playing instruments, and local vocalist Eve Catherine Hind who will sing a song by the Carpenters and one by Janis Joplin. A few songs will welcome the audience to sing along such as “Amazing Grace” which though it had been around since 1772, was released by Judy Collins in 1971, helping to catapult it to its present familiarity. “Morning Has Broken” released in the same year by the artist then known as Cat Stevens will be another sing-a-long.

The concert is sponsored by The Ernest L and Mildred Roberts Sweet Foundation.

Tickets are available at hgp.booktix.com and at the door.
