CALUMET -- Noteworthy invites everyone to come celebrate the season at one of its two free Christmas concerts. The first is set for 7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 7, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Calumet, and the second will be held at 2 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 10, at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Hancock.
The chorus will be joined by Maple Sugar Folk, who will sing a selection of French carols under the direction of David Bezotte.
"There’s a lot of variety in this program: songs that are sassy, funny and upbeat, and those that remind us of the true meaning of the season," said Noteworthy director Joan Petrelius.
The only women’s barbershop chorus in the Copper Country, Noteworthy is recognized for its intricate, a cappella harmonies and fun, accessible melodies.
The program ranges from lighthearted -- Da Yoopers’ "Rusty Chevrolet" -- and traditional -- Mel Torme’s "The Christmas Song" -- to devout songs of the season, including a medley of traditional Christmas hymns.
Other favorites are "Mary’s Boy Child," "Caroling Caroling" and a wistful rendition of "Little Drummer Boy."
Admission is free. Noteworthy always takes a free-will offering for local charities during its concerts; and this Christmas the beneficiary will be the Copper Country United Way, which supports a variety of local charities.
"It seemed like a perfect fit for this time of year, when we are reminded to love and care for our neighbors," Petrelius said.
Noteworthy will be welcoming new members in January and invites all women who enjoy singing to come to the concert for an introduction to barbershop music. For more information, contact Petrelius at 906-482-5088 or noteworthychorus@gmail.com.
