WPCNR WHITE PLAINS VARIETY. From Ann Nieves. April 9, 2003:On Saturday, April 26th, the Westchester Chordsmen Chorus, a 60 member a cappella singing group in the barbershop tradition, will reunite with hundreds of past members for a 50th anniversary concert to raise funds for the group’s many charitable services. Since the 1950’s, the Chordsmen have supported the events of many local charitable and government organizations and regularly perform for nursing homes, hospitals and hospices. The one night only performance will be performed at Highlands Middle School April 26.
Led by 26-year-old director Dusty Schleier, the Chordsmen will perform a repertoire of favorites including The Impossible Dream and It’s Almost Like Being in Love; and will feature favorite barbershop quartets the Notewits, and the Racquet Squad.
“This concert will be an historic event, reuniting past and present quartets, members and directors for an all-star event,” said Alan Ferris, Chordsmen president.
The Chordsmen are the Westchester County Chapter of The Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America, the largest male singing society in the world. The Westchester Chapter, one of the largest on the East Coast, includes residents from the tri-state area who have entertained thousands world-wide. Members range in ages from 13 – 80.
Past performances include Christmas at the White House in 1995; the Barbershop Harmony Festival in St. Petersburg; and the Millennium Celebration in Sulmona, Italy. Members of the group have also made several appearances on the Letterman Showand performed a Valentine’s Day serenade for the ladies of The View.
The Best of the Chordsmen golden anniversary performance will be held on April 26th at 7:30 p.m. at the Highlands Middle School in White Plains. Call 914-241-0208 for tickets and additional information.
