Voices of Tabernacle and Claddagh Ring Dancers to perform at EOH

EARLVILLE – The Voices of Tabernacle and the Claddagh Ring Dancers will be performing a folk concert at 3 p.m. on Sunday at the Earlville Opera House. In a celebration of folk music and dancing, the Voices of Tabernacle, led by Anita Humer and the Claddagh Ring Dancers, led by Christine Carnrike will perform an array of traditional songs and dances.
“The theme of the evening is folk songs and dances from around the world,” said Humer. An array of pieces will be performed from England, Scotland, Ireland, Japan, America, Russia and more. Voices of Tabernacle is a choral group comprised of 33 adult and teen members from eight area towns. The chorus is sponsored by the Episcopal Church of Epiphany.
“Folk music is traditionally and typically an anonymous expression of life in a country,” said Humer.
The concert will include performances by percussionists Cathy and Ray Thielke, who will specialize in African drumming. Soloists in the group will include cellist Stephen Sabin, sopranos Becky Sabin, Pauline Nowar, Anita Humer and Gabrielle Chwazik Gee. Chwazik Gee, a senior at Norwich High School and accomplished piano student of Humer’s, will perform a two piano piece, entitled Jamaican Rumba.
The Claddagh Ring Dancers have been performing in the Central New York area since 1992. “In addition to dancing traditional ceili dances, the Claddagh Ring Dancers have choreographed over 25 original dances,” a press release from the group states. The group, comprised of teen and adult members, normally dances each dance to a particular piece of music, and say that each has a special significance and symbolism to the group.
“Folk songs are exciting and beautiful and many are familiar to all,” said Humer. She explained that while folk music is indigenous to each country, the songs and the dances are all different. “The songs are lively, expressive and they are an example of the feelings of the people in the countries about which we are singing,” said Humer.
The Voices of Tabernacle have been performing for five years, and this will be the second time they have been invited to perform the Earlville Opera House. Tickets are available at the Earlville Opera House or online at www.earlvilleoperahouse.com. The cost is $12 for general admission, $10 for Earlville Opera House members and $7 for students. “It will be a concert not to miss,” said Humer.
