Choral Cabaret 2017
On March 4th the Haverford Choral Program held their most successful benefit concert to date! Together we raised $9362.00 for the program. These funds directly benefit Haverford choral students, providing uniforms, music, and assistance with scholarship among other program expenses.
The lobby was beautifully decorated in a colorful and fun french theme, setting the tone for the evening. Guests enjoyed the opening buffet filled with delicious appetizers while perusing the amazing array of silent auction items available for bidding! Excited guests tried their luck in this years featured Hamilton ticket raffle and 50/50! Our choral friends and families truly gave from their hearts to support the program and many walked away happy winners!!
Of course the highlight of the evening is always the performances. Each year the evening showcases the talents of our choral students who perform contemporary numbers individually and in small groups with instrumental accompaniment. This years finale was an outstanding performance by our award-winning Chamber Choir and Concert Chorale performing songs from Les Miserables.
The Haverford Choral Association thanks everyone who made this event possible; our wonderful committee chairs and volunteers, everyone who donated delicious desserts that so gorgeously filled our intermission buffet tables, the choral students for pulling out the stops and putting on a fantastic show for their audience! And of course, Marsha core, the true heart of this choral program. Without her inspiration and belief in her students, a night like cabaret would not be possible.
