The Candor Community Chorus presents their Independence Day concert, “Songs for Unsung Heroes” on Saturday, July 2, at 7 p.m. in the Candor High School Auditorium, Academy Street.
The program celebrates America’s Independence through a mix of folk, gospel and patriotic music that will set your spirit soaring. The chorus will present some old favorites with a new twist, including a mash-up of “The Sound of Silence” and “Scarborough Fair”. There’s a couple of movie tunes – “Hallelujah” (Shrek) and the love theme from “Titanic” – and the traditional “God Bless America”.
This year the chorus will continue the new tradition of honoring our servicemen and women with a “Tribute to the Armed Services”, a selection that includes the official songs of the Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines and Coast Guard.
Jewel Griffith directs the program accompanied by Brenda Yeier on the piano. Admission is free, and donations are gratefully accepted.
