Houghton – Noteworthy Holiday Concert

The women’s barbershop chorus Noteworthy will present its annual holiday concert, “’Tis the Season,” at 7 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 12, at St. Ignatius Loyola Catholic Church, 305 Portage St., in Houghton. The chorus will be joined by the Spirit of Superior Ringers.

“We’re excited to be performing alongside the bell choir, and we’re also rolling out some awesome new music,” said Noteworthy director Joan Harbour. “I predict the audience will love this concert.”

Noteworthy is the region’s only women’s barbershop chorus, with a repertoire of sing able melodies performed a cappella in four-part harmony.

The program includes the Christmas classics “O Christmas Tree,” sung in English and German, and an intricate arrangement of “Carol of the Bells.” Also featured are several upbeat holiday tunes, such as Steve Allen’s “Cool Yule,” “Jingle Bell Jazz“ and Light the Candles,” which celebrates Hanukkah.

Admission is free to Noteworthy concerts. A free-will offering will be taken to benefit unite Mental Health and Wellness.

“We always welcome new members,” said Harbour.  For more information about joining Noteworthy, email noteworthychorus@gmail.com or call 906-482-5088.
