This Sunday afternoon in The Varsity Chorale Society will give it's 22nd annual Christmas concert in Manhasset.
In addition to the concert, the carole sing-along etc of special note, the Varsity Chorale Society began as an alumni group of Schreiber HS's Varsity Choir ( sort of a Glee of it's day).
This years' concert is dedicated to Ron Meadows- a life long Port Washington resident, who well known in the Port Washington-Manhasset creative community for his extensive volunteer work supporting the arts, muscial events, and theatrical endeavors. Ron, with his wife Pam, started The Teen Summer Theater (which 40 years later is known as the Port Summer Show) produced and headed technical direction for countless community theater productions from Play Troupe and Port Singers in the 1970's-1990. Even when Port's community theater groups activities waned, Ron remained active volunteering his lighting and sound expertise to the Cancer Care Red Stocking Revenue,

The Varsity Chorale Society's Concerts, and numerous local productions at the Landmark. In addition, Ron was long time active member of the Band Shell Committee and a long-time member of the Port Washington Community Band.
Of additional potential interest is that the concert will conclude with special choral arrangement of spiritual-like "Goin' Home", based on themes from The New World Symphony which conducted by the arranger David Barnett, -- another lifelong Port Washington resident.
