Greenwich Choral Society (GCS) will hold a benefit – “Swing into Spring” – Wednesday, March 29 at 6:30 p.m., at Richards in Greenwich, to support the Society’s community outreach programs and concerts.
The Greenwich Choral Society doesn’t just perform a critically acclaimed concert repertoire in Greenwich, Stamford, Norwalk, and Purchase. GCS is an active member of the musical community. GCS brings choral music to elementary and middle schools in Greenwich, linking performances and discussions to school curricula and classroom programs.
GCS has performed for the Greenwich Exchange for Women’s Work; Stamford Museum & Nature Center; The Greenwich Junior League’s “Festival of Trees;” Norwalk’s Stepping Stones Museum’s “Festival of Lights;” Stamford Mall; Greenwich YWCA, and the Greenwich Arts Council’s Curiosity Concerts for young children. Annually they present the beloved “Caroling on the Avenue.” GCS recently presented a free lecture/demonstration entitled Musical “Hors’ d’oeuvres: A Guide to Choral Singing and Musical Style” at Greenwich Library.
Those who attend the benefit will support these programs and concerts and will also enjoy wine and hors d’oeuvres, silent and live auctions, and music from the swing era, featuring baritone Eddie Pleasant, pianist Steven Graff, and the GCS “Swing Singers.”
