Attleboro, MA (November 16, 2024) — Narragansett Bay Men’s Chorus, Coastline Show Chorus and Harmony Heritage women’s a cappella chorus will bring joy to the holiday season with a special performance at 1 PM on Saturday, December 7, 2024 at the La Salette Shrine, located on 947 Park St, Attleboro, MA. The choruses will present a program that blends traditional holiday tunes with an entertaining mix of other repertoire. The show will also feature performances from quartets GPB, Nantucket Sound, OnTour, Second Nature and Past Curfew.

“This concert will help to put some sparkle in your holidays!” says chapter president Anne Diggle. “From classic songs to fun, new versions, there will be entertainment to help kick off your season. Join us for an afternoon of Yuletide enjoyment!”

Doors will open at 12:45 pm, and admission is $15. Tickets can be obtained through a member of any of the choruses or by e-mailing Anne Nuttall at aenuttall@yahoo.com.  A very limited number of tickets will be sold at the door.

All three choruses sing in the barbershop harmony style, which traces its musical roots back to the turn of the 20th century. Today, barbershop harmony singers not only celebrate the classics, but also put their own spin on contemporary songs as well.
