Monday April 26th starting at 7:15pm in the Bancroft Room. It's A Capella night at Monday Night At The Church! We will feature two vocal ensembles with strong connections to First Unitarian Church.
First up is Nothing But Treble, with sopranos Margy O'Donnell and Liz Ryder joining altos Frankie Knapp and Wendy Driscoll. Nothing But Treble is an a cappella ensemble which has sung enthusiastic and polished performances throughout Central Massachusetts for over eleven years, celebrating a wide variety of music styles from madrigal to barbershop to contemporary popular music. The group has sung at many varied venues including: Tower Hill Botanic Garden, Boylston; Lasell Village at Lasell College, Auburndale; Tuckerman Hall, Worcester; First Night Sturbridge; The Worcester Club; Worcester for Crafts Annual Festival; Willows Retirement Center, Westborough and Southgate at Shrewsbury.
Also on the bill, the Unitonians performing selection from the standard barbershop songbook along with a few more contemporary tunes. The Unitonians largely hail from First Unitarian Church. Paul Ropp on tenor, Dave Blodgett and Paul Spanagel on lead, Jim Demetry on baritone, Steve Knox on bass, and David Spanagel and Ryan Ruopp filling in on various parts as needed. The Unitonians have been active at First Unitarian church for many years, performing at church services and going out to many nursing homes and residential homes in the Worcester area.
