The renowned Chantry Singers, in a Spring Extravaganza on Sunday May 4th (2025), performed a wide variety of musical selections led by director Anne Little.
The 60 voice community choir has been performing for more than 50 years and is based in Saugeen Shores (Bruce County, ON).
It was a standing room only audience at Faith Lutheran Church in Port Elgin on Sunday that came to enjoy a celebration of Canadian music, traditional folk selections, show tunes and songs of hope, that included Imagine by John Lennon (Arr. Althouse).
The concert also featured ‘Hammers and Strings Piano Duo’ with Christina Edwards and Adrian Little and the ‘Theme from The Godfather’ by the young pianist Beckett Haugh. Among the soloists who also performed was Bill Rayner who sang a touching rendition of the traditional Irish ballad, Danny Boy.
