‘Celebrate Singing!’
With Halloween on last month’s calendar page, tis the season
for celebration.
The Watauga County Arts Council is getting into the spirit of things with
the upcoming “Celebrate Singing!” concert, to be held Saturday, Nov. 3, at 7 p.m. at Boone United
Methodist Church in Boone.
The event will feature a number of singing styles and groups from
the High Country and Triad, including the Triad Harmony Express, a men’s barbershop chorus from
Winston-Salem; Treble Attraction women’s group from Appalachian State University; the Mountainaires
Barbershop Quartet; the 5th Edition Quartet; and Easy Livin’ Quartet.
This is the 32nd year
that Triad Harmony Express has entertained at a fall show in Boone, and Saturday’s concert promises
a new package of familiar tunes.
ASU’s Treble Attraction has been performing for the past six
years as an a cappella group that provides a variety of musical stylings, including sacred music and
popular songs.
The Mountainaires have been entertaining in the High Country for 33
years, including a featured role in the local 1993 stage production of “The Music Man” and in August
of this year in the concert version.
The 5th Edition Quartet has performed for various
events in the area since 2007, providing close harmony with novel musical arrangements.
Easy Livin’ Quartet is part of the chorus from Winston-Salem and provides a change of pace
with four-part harmony.
This is a free admission event, with donations accepted
to support the music scholarship program of the Watauga County Arts Council.
Boone United
Methodist Church is located at 471 New Market Blvd. in Boone.
