Parkside Brings Holiday Cheer with Sold-Out Show, A Season of Lights

HARRISBURG, PA – December 9, 2024

The Rose Lehrman Arts Center was alight with holiday spirit this past Sunday as Parkside Harmony and Parkside Melody took the stage for their highly anticipated holiday show, A Season of Lights. The sold-out event brought together nearly 400 audience members for an unforgettable 75-minute celebration of music, community, and joy.

On March 10th, Parkside Harmony had the distinct pleasure of hosting the internationally acclaimed quartet, Signature, at local schools for an entire day. This unique event, made possible by a generous grant from The Association of International Champions (AIC) in partnership with Harmony Foundation International, aimed to share the joys of barbershop music and the positive impact of lifelong singing with students.

Signature, hailing from Miami, Florida, are not just renowned performers but also International Quartet Champions. Their passion for barbershop music and their commitment to fostering the next generation of singers made them the perfect ambassadors for this outreach initiative.

We are so grateful to Barb Russo Guarente​ & the wonderful staff at the Friendship Center/ Lower Paxton Township Parks & Recreation​ for hosting us last night!  Due to inclement weather our 'Concert in the Park' was held inside, but the crowds still came out to support a fun night of harmony & community (many sporting their own Parkside Harmony​ gear)! Special thanks to guest quartets Pratt Street Power & Achording to Dad for adding to the show, Malcolm O'Callaghan for sound support, & Kirman Eye for sponsoring this awesome event!

 

SO proud of these Parksiders, four chapter quartets that represented
us throughout the 2017 International Convention - including: Brothers
In Arms - kicking off the week by earning 5th Place Bronze Medals in
the International Youth Contest... Pratt Street Power - last year's
Youth Champs, moving on to the open division finishing 18th overall
and earning the Dealer's Choice Award (for the highest placing novice
quartet)... Route 1 - last year's Dealer's Choice winners, going on

the week with 4th Place Bronze Medals!  We celebrate your many

Harmony!

On July 7th, just after earning 5th place Bronze Medals at the
Barbershop Harmony Society's 2017 International Chorus Contest, the
Parkside Harmony family walked down 'the Strip' to Hershey's Chocolate
World Las Vegas to celebrate, grab a photo op, and share a few tunes!
So proud to represent Hershey, Pennsylvania and Mid-Atlantic District!
