December 10, 2017 - The Capital Chordettes bring 4-part Christmas harmony to
Manotick!
A favorite part of the Holiday Season, for the Capital Chordettes, is
the joy of singing Christmas Carols. Sounds of their harmony filled the
beautiful Manotick United Church on Sunday afternoon under the capable
direction of Carolyn Henderson. An enthusiastic audience enjoyed a song
selection that included Mary’s Boy Child, Oh Come Oh Come Emanuele, sung
partly in Latin, Marshmallow World, and Jingle Bells .
Holiday Harmony and Sweet A Cappella, groups of seven, got into
the Christmas spirit performing Deck the Halls and Do You Hear What I
Hear.
Featured that afternoon were quartets, Sounds Like Fun, with their
hilarious rendition of You Ain't Getting Diddly Squat and Group Therapy
who brought down the house with the haunting beautiful Huron Carol.
‘Twas a beautiful way to get into the holiday spirit.
