Hometown harmonizers host milestone concert

PORT HOPE – The Ganaraska Chordsmen welcome you to the first concert they have self-produced as a chartered organization.

In fact, part of the May 7 show at Port Hope’s Calvary Pentecostal Church is the official presentation of their charter to operate as a chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society by district president Frank Knoll of Mt. Brydges, Ont.

“It will be a good show, no question about it,” Ganaraska Chordsmen president Ted Devonshire stated.

Ganaraska Chordsmen vice-president of marketing and public relations Rick Faulkner said the line-up of talent (in addition to their own portion of the program) is superb.

The Aces of Harmony from Peterborough served as the group’s sponsor when they were starting up a couple of years back.

They will welcome the Durham Shores Sweet Adelines, whom their music director Lynn Brown also directs — and who recently won their division championship.
