Hoover Songbirds show choir takes Senior Center stage (videos)
The Hoover New Horizons Songbirds show choir performed during a luncheon at the Hoover Senior Center Tuesday.
The choir, which had about 30 members present, ranges in age from about 65 to 90 and shared about 16 songs, including Broadway show tunes and standards from what Director Fred Ernst calls the “Great American songbook.”
Songs performed today included tunes such as “Hello Dolly,” “It Had To Be You,” “Oklahoma” and “Happy Trails.”
The New Horizons Songbirds are concluding their 30th year of performances. The group travels around the Birmingham-Hoover metro area between September and May, performing at senior centers, retirement villages, assisted living centers, nursing homes, places of worship and other facilities. The choir this year had about 20 concerts scheduled, Ernst said.
