This event showcases the music the Chorus will present at the annual Sweet Adelines International Convention in Nashville, Tenn., this October, as the 2008 Sweet Adelines Lake Michigan Region 3 champion. The Choral-Aires Chorus has represented the region at international competition regularly throughout the past decade, each time medaling in the top ten of more than 600 barbershop choruses. Tickets cost $12 per person, or $8 for students and seniors (62+), children under five are free.
