NILES — The Michiana Metro Lighthouse Chorus is bringing back its annual food bank fundraiser event Saturday, Nov. 19, when it will present “Fighting Hunger through Music.”

The evening of entertainment and charitable giving will begin at 6:59 p.m. at the Wesley United Methodist Church, 302 Cedar Street, Niles, MI. The program will include a variety of music that appeals to all ages, including jazz, rock, patriotic, spirituals and ballads.

Tickets cost $15 for general admission and $12 for senior and students. Admission is free for children under age 12.

Tickets can be purchased in advance by calling (269) 471-4559 or (219) 362-5141, or they can be purchased at the door.  Attendees are encouraged to bring a nonperishable food item to donate to the evening’s food drive.

The Lighthouse Chorus is a group of men that gathers weekly to join their voice in song. This a cappella group performs primarily in the four-part harmony of the barbershop style.

“The mission of the chorus isn’t just to sing together, but also to give back to our communities by initiating and promoting charitable projects throughout the area,” said Chorus President Era Snyder.

The chorus has over 25 members who come from all walks of life, including teachers, doctors, engineers, retirees, management and labor. They also come from multiple counties throughout the area, including Berrien and Cass counties in Michigan and St. Joseph and La Porte counties in Indiana.

Some members have more than 50 years of Barbershop experience and others have less than a year. All of the members share one thing—the love of the art form as a hobby.

The Lighthouse Chorus has performed through southwest Michigan and northwest Indiana, singing in a variety of venues. They love spreading joy and enriching the lives of others through their community performances.

The chorus is always looking for new members and welcomes any man who loves to sing to visit chorus practice at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Wesley United Methodist Church in Niles.
