Manchester Silk City Chorus Annual Show
The renowned Silk City Barbershop
Chorus of Manchester launches its 51st year with its annual show on
Saturday, January 25th at the Manchester High School Auditorium.
Show times are 1:30 PM and 7:30 PM.
The title of this year’s show is
“Save Our Ship”, a parody on the role and lives of pirates from mid- to late 19th
century. The 40 performing members of the Silk City Chorus will appear in
memorable pirate costumes, with traditional “accessories”, acting like pirates while performing entertaining parodies of well
known pirate songs.

perform are “Drunken Sailor”, “How Deep Is the Ocean”, “Son of the Sea”, “Yo Ho!
A Pirate’s Life for Me”, and the ultimate spoof on life on a pirate ship: “What!
No Women?”
In
addition to the host chorus performance, the 51st annual show will feature two
world class a cappella
groups: quartets which earned Bronze
Medals in the 2013 International Championship. The quartet “A Mighty Wind” are
