Has your chorus thought about how you share your talent? The Harmony Kings believe that music is a gift that is meant to be shared. The Harmony Kings share their talent two times a month at various audiences throughout the Puget Sound Area. Since we have been keeping track we have sung at almost 100 different venues. . This year we are beyond the moon because we have two performances a month booked through September of 2024. We do not consider ourselves as a competition chorus, but a performance chorus. Again, it gets back to the question of “How do you share your talent”? Our main focus is performing at assisted senior living residences. but we sing at other types of venues as well, like the Washington State Fair,, the King County Fair, and on the Argosy Holiday Cruise Ship, and various Veteran’s Day performances.

We have performed the National Anthem at various sporting venues like emerald Downs Race Track, the Seattle T-Birds in Kent, the Seattle Kraken at Climate Pledge Arena and the Tacoma Rainiers at Cheney Stadium.
We also have several quartets that perform in the community at various venues. One of our quartets’ favorite event if Singing Valentine’s. But all of our chorus members would agree that our favorite performance gig is Studio 315. Studio 315 is an event run by the city of Kent, WA. It is a special evening for adults with disabilities. If you ever wanted to feel like a rock star, that is the event to be at. Every year after we sing for them, we go out to a local restaurant and have a meal and social hour. The Harmony Kings are a family, and what a better way to end an evening with food and fellowship.
So, going back to the original question, “How is your chorus sharing their talent?” Maybe this article has lit a spark, or given you an idea you haven’t thought about. Maybe it gave you a challenge to do more in your chapter. Whatever the reason, remember “Music is a gift to be shared!”
