Harmonizer Holidays 2018

The 2018 Holidays were busy for the Harmonizers.  We performed our "Secret of Christmas" Holiday Concert at T.C. Williams High School in Alexandria on December 8th.  This show had an international twist and featured the return of our our beloved "Jack", performed by long-time Harmonizer, Terry Reynolds.  The show was written and produced by Jeff Burkey and comprehensively managed by our Director of Shows, Joe Cerutti, Sr. - both men deserve major kudos for their efforts! It was a fun story and it was great to see Terry in the Jack-In-The-Box once again!  Besides the Harmonizers the concert featured the mixed quartet Better Together, with Harmonizers Andrew Havens and Tony Colismo, along with their wives, Heather and Elizabeth. Our resident small ensemble chorus, TBD sang three songs, as well. The concert was a huge success and was nearly sold out.

On the 9th, TBD, performed a short concert at Clarendon Presbyterian Church, in Arlington for an annual event called "The Spirited Carol Sing".  TBD rehearses at CPC, and performs at the church a couple times a year to show appreciation to the community.  After the concert and carol sing, the church hosted a Pasta Bar with lots of pasta and several different pasta toppers.  It was a festive evening!

On December 15th, a group of about 25 Harmonizers went on a Holiday Carol Sing at selected retirement and care centers. We stopped at The Fountains at Washington House, Woodbine Nursing Home, Sunrise of Alexandria and The Hermitage. Clyde Crusenberry organized and planned the event which was directed by Joe Cerutti, Jr. It was a delightful afternoon and went off without a hitch despite a bit of rain.

Finally, the Harmonizers performed our annual "Carol Crawl" in Old Town Alexandria on December 18th. The event was organized by Mark Klostermeyer and Joe Cerutti, Sr. About 60 - 70 Harmonizers attended, it was the best attended Carol Crawl that most of us could remember! We visited about nine to ten establishments and sang three songs in each place to the delight of the customers - lots of smiles and laughs! We did an impromptu concert in front of the Torpedo Factory, where we sang some of our more challenging Holiday pieces for the amazed passers-by. We ended up at Caldwell's on the waterfront where we sang and then filed upstairs for food, more singing and Holiday Cheer! 

It was an eventful Holiday season with a lot of community outreach, here's to much more in 2019!

"70-for-70" Fundraising Initiative

In 2018, our 70th anniversary year, we set an ambitious goal to raise $70,000 from individual donors. We are very pleased to report that our "70 for 70" campaign was a success! We exceeded our goal, and raised over $73,000! 2018 was  the most successful fundraising year in Harmonizer history. A hearty "THANK YOU" to all of our generous patrons and donors - you make what we do possible!
