Come On, Get Happy! Summit Chorale Concert and Benefit
"Come On, Get Happy" is Summit Chorale's invitation to a two-act evening of sparkling music and fun beginning at 7 p.m. on Saturday, May 20, at St. George's Episcopal Church, 550 Ridgewood Road, Maplewood, NJ. In Act I, Music Director Richard Garrin conducts concert arrangements of toe-tapping songs from stage and screen. Act II follows at 8:30 p.m. with a fun-filled benefit event for the Chorale.

The first act features popular tunes by such beloved composers as Leonard Bernstein, Duke Ellington, Cole Porter, Stephen Sondheim, and the Gershwin Brothers. "Our a cappella renditions of I'll Be Seeing You and A Nightingale Sang in Berkley Square are alone worth the price of admission," says Mr. Garrin.

More live music by a jazz trio that includes the chorale's piano accompanist, Douglas Keilitz, plus delicious homemade food, a wine tasting, and live and silent auctions, provide the second act to a festive evening.

Tickets to the concert are $15 for general admission; $10 for students. Tickets to the benefit are $25. A discounted combination ticket for both the concert and benefit is $30. Tickets may be purchased at the door, by phone at (973) 762-8486, or at www.summitchorale.org.

This is the only annual benefit for Summit Chorale, a volunteer group of 45 experienced singers from the local area, now in its 97th season. Funds raised support the Chorale's ongoing activities, including three major concerts a year, choral workshops, and community outreach programs. Large-print programs and assistive listening devices are available at performances.
