Sing for the Season

The Twin City Harmonizers are inviting men of all ages in the community to join us in celebrating the season in song by joining us on stage to sing a few well known Christmas songs as part of our annual Christmas shows.

Rehearsals with guest singers have just started. You can still join us on Tuesday evenings, the first hour will be devoted to a warmup and learning the mostly familiar Christmas music, both sacred and secular, that will be used. You will learn the songs along with our regular chorus members after which you are free to leave or, if you are interested, remain for all or part of the regular chorus rehearsal that follows as well as a social gathering. In either case, there is no obligation.

Sheet music will be provided but the ability to read music, while helpful, is not a requirement. We use a variety of teaching methods. If you can sing, “Happy Birthday” you should have no trouble. At the show itself, you will be invited to come up from your seats to the risers on stage to perform hopefully without the music. Thus, a little homework may be helpful. You will receive 2 free tickets to the shows.

There is ample documented evidence that singing truly is good for you, and for sure we do have fun. We do hope you will want to join us for the rehearsals and show.

Regular rehearsals are on Tuesday evenings at Luther Village Sunshine Centre, 141 Father David Bauer Dr. Waterloo, ON. There are 2 performances - Saturday, November 30 at 2:00 pm at Calvary United Church, 48 Hawkesville Road, St. Jacobs; and Sunday, December 1 at 2:30 pm at Tavistock Mennonite Church, 131 Wettlaufer St., Tavistock. Guests may choose to sing in either or both shows.

We had fun at the Barbershop Fest September 7th.

On August 20 the Gulph, Simcoe and KW Chapters met at Kitchener City Hall. Each chorus performed a few songs then combined into a mass chorus for a few more. The three Chapters get together annually, this year it was KW's turn to host.

On May 24th, we teamed up with the Guelph New Horizons Big Band and the Kitchener Portuguese Club for "Spring Swing" an evening of music and dancing.

We all had a great time at our Spring Show May 4.

We enjoyed performing at Christmas Shows in St. Jacobs and Tavistock December 2 & 3.

St. Jacobs Sparkle event

On November 18th, we enjoyed performing at the Sparkles event. Shortly after our performance, a young Ukrainian lady and her friend had just arrived and asked if we were singing.

There was still enough of us to sing a song and we did "Let there be peace". She was in tears. If that did not tug on all of our heart strings - WOW - then we did O Holy Night for her, she put the lyrics on her cell phone and she sang along.

She had an amazing, it turns out that she was a professional singer!

One small gesture of kindness not only made her and her friends day, it made all of ours as well.
