A generous HCA member has pledged up to $500 to fund the delivery of Heart of Carolina Singing Valentines to the classrooms of music educators in the Triangle area this February! This will be a tremendous boost to getting Barbershop Harmony in front of youth in a way they won't forget. |
Barbershoppers just West of here in Winston-Salem will be hosting a Spring youth barbershop harmony outreach event at Salem College. Heart of Carolina A Cappella has donated $250 to help fund this effort to introduce youngsters to the Barbershop art form! |
Heart of Carolina A Cappella's October 25 benefit concert raised over $3300 to support an Asheville-area nonprofit that is providing direct relief to victims of the flooding caused by Hurricane Helene. Our thanks to Eno River Unitarian Universalist Fellowship for providing the concert hall, and to all who came to share our music and help our neighbors! |
Heart of Carolina competed at the Barbershop Harmony Society's International Chorus Competition in Cleveland, Ohio, on July 6, singing two songs from the musical Pippin, arranged by director Bill Adams and directors' team member Larry Triplett. We are very proud that we received our highest scores ever, breaking the 80% threshold for the first time. We are going to take a break for the rest of July, and will then begin preparing for our holiday show. |

Croasdaile will require some sort of chorus identification for entry, and the facility also has rules regarding parking locations. |
