A Harmonious Evening

Newark Valley Community Connection's latest event on May 11th was nothing short of spectacular! With hearts full of anticipation and spirits soaring high, attendees gathered for an unforgettable evening of music, camaraderie, and delectable cuisine.

The star-studded lineup featured the mesmerizing melodies of Valley Harmony, an exceptional acapella group whose harmonies filled the venue with warmth and joy. Joined by special guest musicians Laurie Holdridge, Rhonda Moulton, Anne Austin, and the incredibly talented harpist Melissa Collins, the stage was set for an evening of musical enchantment.

From timeless classics like "There is Balm in Gilead" to soul-stirring renditions of "Tears in Heaven," the repertoire spanned across genres, touching the hearts of everyone in attendance. The diversity of the music, ranging from cherished spirituals to beloved Broadway tunes like those from West Side Story, ensured there was something for every musical palate.

As the melodies filled the air, the ambiance was electric with energy and excitement. Laughter, applause, and the occasional tear of joy punctuated each performance, creating an atmosphere of pure magic.
