“Let’s Get Away from It All,” our 2023 Spring Show

Getting away is a theme that strikes a chord in all of us. What do we want to escape? Maybe it’s a dull routine, a relationship problem, or even an embarrassing past mistake. The Harmony Hawks present a musical production on this theme with works from some of the iconic songwriters of American popular music. The show will feature the Harmony Hawks Chorus, guest quartet Corridor 4, and special musical guests from Prairie Point Middle School. Our musical journey is sure to provide a needed break in your routine, and lift your spirits.

Our 2023 Spring Show will be presented at 2 p.m., Saturday, May 20 at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church. located at 1340 Third Avenue SE in Cedar Rapids. Seating is general admission. Cost is $15 per ticket for adults, $5 for students and the parents of students performing on the show. Tickets will be available at the door, cash or check sales only.

An Afterglow will be held in the church’s Wesley Center following the performance with light refreshments (non-alcoholic), fellowship and more barbershop singing. Admission is free for show performers and workers, and for $5 for other guests. Tickets are needed for admission.
