The popular Ambassador Christian Male Chorus along with guests, Hi-Five, will be performing at the Drayton Reformed Church on Nov. 15 at 7:30pm.
The all-male choristers have been singing together since 1969.
Director, Harold DeHaan, founded the Ambassadors shortly after graduating from Calvin College, Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Members of the Ambassadors come from Dundas, Burlington, Grimsby and Brantford.
Although none are professional musicians, their love for singing shines through as they share their gifts and talents across Southern Ontario, states a press release from the group.
In November they are performing in churches and other venues celebrating their love of sacred music.
Presently they rehearse every Wednesday evening at the Mount Hamilton Christian Reformed Church, Upper Wellington and Stone Church Road in Hamilton.
The Ambassadors have an open invitation to other men who love to sing.
The group is in great demand and their schedule is often full as they perform local benefit concerts, sing in nursing homes, participate in other social and community events and share their musical talent in many churches.
The group loves to sing sacred music but they also have a full repertoire of show tunes and other melodies.
Pianist Laura Pin, the only female member of the group, a graduate of Western University, enjoys working with her husband, Michael, providing the musical accompaniment and instruction, for the Ambassador Chorus.
On the November 2013 tour, the Ambassadors are happy to have the woodwind quartet, Hi-Five, accompany them offering another musical treat.
Hi-Five formed in 1998 and has received accolades from all over the world. The group of four men and one woman perform both classical and modern music, and always with a hint of humour.
The Ambassadors atate they provide “community music for enjoyment and Christian encouragement.”
There are no tickets sold for the concert so attendees are encouraged to come early to get a good seat. A freewill offering will be taken at the end of the evening. Refreshments and a chance to meet members of both the Ambassadors and Hi-Five will take place at the end of the evening. For more information contact Bill DeVries at 519-638-2794.
