The Kincardine Community Singers are perfectly in tune for their Christmas concert, "Christmas on Broadway," which runs Dec. 10-11, at Knox Presbyterian Church, Kincardine.
If Wednesday night's dress rehearsal is any indication, this is going to be a stellar show, with the largest number of singers ever in the history of the choir, under the direction of Patt Lowry, with accompanist Miriam Barrie.
The melodies are brilliant and the harmony is second to none. There are also several delightful ensemble pieces to enjoy.

While the theme is "Christmas on Broadway," the choir will also be performing a number of traditional Christmas carols, some of them with a new twist.
The range of Christmas music extends from “Rockin' Jerusalem” to “Sanctus,” and an a cappella version of “Angels Singin' Glory.” From the Broadway stage, there will be such favourites as “White Christmas,” “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas,” “My Favourite Things,” and many more.
Joining the choir, are instrumentalists JoAnne Scott on percussion, Brian Tovey on harmonica, Hilary McPherson on flute, Michelle LaPointe on percussion, Miriam Barrie on keyboard, Mike Smith on drums, Debb Marks on trumpet and Karen Weber on bass, along with page-turner Morgan Ritchie.
The Saturday, Dec. 10, matinee concert begins at 3 p.m., and the Sunday, Dec. 11, evening performance is at 7:30 p.m.
Advance tickets are $15 each for adults and $5 each for children under the age of 12. They can be purchased at Jerome Flowers in Kincardine, from any of the choir members, or on-line at KincardineCommunitySingers.ca. Tickets at the door are $18 each.
