The Chorus North Shore held their 80/50 Anniversary Party at the Masonic Lodge in Ipswich, Massachusetts on Saturday night. It honored Sonja (Sunny) Dahlgren Pryor, our esteemed conductors who has worked with the chorus for 50 years. The Chorus has been in existence since 1932.
The hall was decorated with programs from each concert including those oversea performances in Europe. A stylish cake represented the major accomplishments of the chorus.
The Disc Jockey played the greatest hits from the eight decades. Gift bags were drawn as raffles according to the themes of the decades. Sing-a-longs for each decades were aptly performed in harmonies by the singers. It was quite a festive time of song.
Two young sisters from the Honors Youth Chorus sang a tribute to Sunny, who was obviously moved by their warm regard of her. Composer Paul Jensen assembled a small group of singers to honor Sunny with an original composition and a medley of Broadway tunes tailored towards Sunny's life.
Food was too bountiful. We could not finish eating the delicious food made by chorus members, but we did make room for the birthday cake. And the best part was that everyone danced for hours. I mean everyone. Every party-goer celebrated the fun music with some unique dance moves. We can't wait for the next party.
