Hickory Tree Chorus Spreads Holiday Cheer!




Carols rang throughout northern and central New Jersey as the Hickory Tree Chorus chapter of Sweet Adelines International, its ensembles and quartets spread holiday cheer with a full holiday performance schedule, even with two performances cancelled due to snow.

Escape, Moonstruck, True Blues and Brocade quartets regularly carolled on the streets of downtowns in Westfield, Chester and Summit. Small ensembles performed at the Berkeley Heights Tree Lighting, for the International Association of Administrative Professionals, and a 90th birthday party.

The final performance of the 2009 season featured the full chorus, performing two 45-minute sets, at the Assumption Church in Morristown as part of First Night Morris, one of the state's largest First Night celebrations.

The chorus looks forward to another full performance schedule in 2010, beginning with its popular Singing Valentines program.
