Chordbusters' Christmas Show, Dec. 5, 2014

By Amos Glanz

A number of talented music groups from the Quad Cities area will team up once again for a free family-friendly holiday concert at 7 p.m. on Friday, December 5 at the Heritage Church, 4801-44th Street, Rock Island.

The Davenport Chordbuster Chorus, the Bend of the River Chorus, the Moline Boys Choir, the Choral Bells from St. John's United Methodist Church, and the Barley House Band will headline the event that will include quartets, vocal and instrumental solos.  "Celebrate the Holidays" is back by popular demand because of last year's fine turn out.  Last year's crowd of over 600 donated $2,300.00 dollars for the Churches United food pantries, through a goodwill offering.  The program will be nice, upbeat, good holiday music with a lot of variety.   

The hosting organization for this event, the Davenport Chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society, is an IRS 501(c)(3) charitable organization and a registered nonprofit corporation in the state of Iowa.   The group maintains a website at:   www.thechordbusters.com.
