How Can We Keep from Singing?

Corale concert at Bay Harbor
By Lynda Wheatley | Nov. 12, 2021

We can’t. And we shouldn’t. Which is why the 1982-founded Northern Michigan Chorale is determined to get audiences in the vocal groove as they sing patriotic songs of gratitude; uplifting Broadway selections; inspiring music from Burt Bacharach, Simon & Garfunkel, and Lerner & Lowe; and all kinds of holiday favorites. How Can We Keep From Singing will showcase three performances — each including soloists, smaller ensembles, and all-in ensemble sings — between Nov. 20 and 21 in the plush and lovely Great Lakes Center for the Arts in Bay Harbor. Tickets are $12 for seniors and students ages 11–18, free for kids under 10, and $15 for adults. Get yours at www.greatlakescfa.org.
