6/20/2009 Distinguished Service Award Presented

This year the Chorus chose two very deserving volunteers to honor with their Distinguished Service Award - Mary Powers Miller and Betty Horner. Both of these women have donated countless hours in support of the chorus for many years. Each of them have been strong allies for the LGBT community through their work with the Open and Affirming movement within the UCC Churches, PFLAG, healthcare, and many other avenues.

They join past recipients - Bob and Joyce Strommen and Denise Leslie. The Chorus would like to give all of our volunteers a "thumbs up!"



6/15/2009 The Coastliners in Concert
Brecksville United Church of Christ

Ready or not, the Coastliners, the celebrated small ensemble of the North Coast Men's Chorus from Cleveland, Ohio, are coming to Brecksville!

The concert will take place at 7:30 PM on Saturday, July 11 under the direction of Richard Cole, Music Director, and accompanied on piano by Patrick Wycliffe, the Coastliners perform as the official ambassadors of the Chorus at events throughout northeast Ohio. The Coastliners have appeared in concert at events at Playhouse Square, and they were a part of last summer's Cleveland Cabaret Project at Cain Park. Earlier this year, they opened for illusionist Jim Bailey at the Palace Theatre in Canton. They have performed at international festivals in Miami and Montreal.

This concert will include songs ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous, from the finger snapping sounds of "Jersey Boys" to the beautiful melody of "Home" from "The Wiz." Costumes, dancing, and a salute to weddings that you simply won't believe are all a part of this fun-filled, musical evening.

Members of the Coastliners include Don Ferenz, Bryan K. Fetty, Mark P. Malloy, James McPeak, Gary Mueller, Bruce Tillberg, and Jerry Zak.

A free-will offering will be taken at the door.
