Members of the Racing City Chorus, Saratoga's Ambassadors of Harmony, will be presenting a cappella vocal music evenings during the racing season outside participating downtown restaurants.
The “Barbershop on Broadway” performances are free to the public, and will feature popular music, show tunes, and barbershop standards in four-part harmony on five weeknight evenings – July 29th, August 5th, August 11th , August 19th and August 26th, between the hours of 7:00 and 10:00 p.m.
Performance venues each evening will include Scallions on Lake
Avenue, Hatties on Phila Street, Brindisi's and The Inn at Saratoga on
Broadway, The Endzone on Ballston Avenue, and The Olde Bryan Inn
on Maple Avenue.
“ We are thrilled to bring this unique form of entertainment to
many downtown visitors who will be enjoying the sumer evenings in
Saratoga,” said George “Guv” Wallace, the marketing and public
relations contact for the chorus. “We are also greatful to the six
downtown restaurants for supporting this program, and in helping to
make the Saratoga summer experience memorable for downtown patrons,” he
said.
The Racing City Chorus was founded in 1956, and is the reigning
Barbershop Harmony Society Mountain Division Champions in the
Northeastern District. They present more than 35 public appearances
annually, which in the past have included Saratoga Arts Fest, Saratoga
First Night, the Downtown Business Association's “Hats Off to Saratoga”
street fest for the opening of the race track season, and the Elk's
Flag Day Parade.
