In honor of The Salvation Army's 125th Anniversary and its service to Central Virginia, the Greater Richmond Chorus, an award-winning a cappella show chorus, will present a benefit show, "A Gift of Music," at 8 p.m. on Saturday, March 13th.
This show will be held at St. Michael's Catholic Church, 4491 Springfield Road in Glen Allen and all proceeds from the show will be donated to The Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club.
The show will feature the acclaimed singing and dancing of the Chorus, under the direction of Master Director, Roger Tarpy and will include show tunes, ballads and other favorites in 4-part harmony, complete with dazzling costumes and spectacular dancing.
Adding to the variety will be performances from several quartets and the chorus' community outreach ensemble, the Extension Chords.
