Gospel songs to be featured at Heart of Kentucky Chorus spring show

The Heart of Kentucky Chorus invites the public to their spring show, to be held at 7 p.m. on Saturday, May 24.

“This year we’re going full gospel,” said chorus member Bob Swope. “All of our songs are going to be classic favorite gospel songs, and in keeping with the theme, we will be performing in the sanctuary at the Memorial United Methodist Church here in Elizabethtown.”

Tickets are $15 and available from any chorus member and at the door, with children 12 and under free. The spring show is a benefit for the Living Waters Guatemala Partnership.

“I lead a team of volunteers that go to Guatemala several times a year to install water purification systems in little mountain villages that basically have no access to clean water, so this is an opportunity for the community to come out and help support this mission as well as enjoy some wonderful entertainment,” Swope said.

Swope says the Heart of Kentucky Chorus is open to anybody that loves to sing.

“We come from all around Central Kentucky, Hardin County and surrounding counties,” Swope said. “We meet every Thursday evening and rehearse under the direction of Aaron Dale. Aaron is a phenomenal director, and he manages to get some wonderful sounds from some pretty average voices (laughs).”

All are welcome to attend. Find more information on the Heart of Kentucky Chorus Facebook page.
