Concert with Choruses from Wales
Friday, June 4, 2010
Wales is known for choral singing in every town--often many choirs in each! We were thrilled to perform and to hear members of six of these choirs (all of men) perform on the East Side of Manhattan.
Exciting concert
May 8th
Our end-of-season concert at the Peoples' Voice Café went very well, with over 50 chorus members present. The house was full to overflowing, and the audience truly enjoyed us. We shared the evening with the Solidarity Singers of the New Jersey Industrial Union Council, who led a lively sing-along of labor and peace songs.

The chorus was honored to be part of the celebration of the life of long-time member Julius Margolin.

We performed as part of Cooper Union's celebration of its 150th anniversary Journalist Pete Hamill and a cast of

most ardent advocates: Clara Lemlich, Samuel Gompers, Eugene V. Debs
and Mother Jones. The Labor Chorus added an exciting, live sound to the readings of these historical speeches.

The Chorus sings on the stage of the Grand Pavilion at Porthcawl where "In 1957 a US Government travel ban prevented Paul Robeson from appearing in person [at the Grand Pavillion] at the Miners' Eisteddfod, however he still performed live via a secretly arranged transatlantic telephone link up."
