Song of the Pines Chorus

Song of the Pines Chorus

Everyone is cordially invited to attend the 10th Annual Advent Concert Series at St. John’s with four different concerts!  The series starts off with the Song of the Pines Chorus.   Song of the Pines Chorus is a member of Sweet Adelines International, a non-profit, worldwide organization of female singers who meet regularly to rehearse, perform, socialize and have fun.  Most of their members come from the Prescott Quad-City area, but they also have members who drive from Phoenix and other adjacent cities. Song of the Pines is a performing and competing chorus that has been an active part of the Prescott music scene for many years.  They are an exuberant group of women who sing four-part barbershop harmony a cappella style. We are excited to have them kick-off the concert series on December 1st in the sanctuary of St. John’s at 4:30 p.m. Continue reading →
