The Evergreen Choir Performs in Patchogue
Saturday, Dec. 8, 2007:

I was pleasantly surprised by the performance of an "A Cappella" singing group called "The Evergreen Choir." As I approached the site of the Concert, the "Conservatory Grade," voices were apparent. The Evergreen Choir is a professional A Cappella ensemble that has been performing throughout Long Island and New York for over 11 years. Upon hearing about Philip Butler and the local Knights of Columbus in their attempt to take back Christmas - Director, Philip Barone and members of The Evergreen Choir were happy to volunteer there time and voices towards this very noble cause.


Please forgive the background noise from passing vehicles; the video clips were taken, not in a studio, but on location. This is not all bad; the cars were honking their horns in approval and support of this wonderful concert.

Studio quality Audio Clips are available on their Web Site:

These talented singers entertained Patchogue Residents at the location of the Nativity Display, on Main Street, Near the Patchogue Theatre. Dressed in costumes that would be worn in the Eighteenth Century, they did indeed capture the spirit of the Christmas Holiday.

It is not absolutely necessary for people to communicate vocally. A few patrons of our Patchogue Theatre, left the theatre a few minutes before the theatre performance was over. I watched the faces of the numerous couples that would walk-up to the Concert location, they would look at each other, smile, and then with a "smile of appreciation," enjoyed the rest of the Evergreen Choir Performance. Their faces told the story! They were really saying, thank you for performing in our Village, and not a word was spoken!

A women came up to me and said, "Where is News Twelve?" I totally agree with her. Our mainstream media is often too involved with a classic model, of what type of programming, they think the people want to see, on TV, Radio, and in the Newspapers. I really enjoyed News Twelve, many years ago, when they first started their company. At that time they covered many of the small local functions, such as this one. It's still not too late! I would love to again see The Evergreen Choir, perform in Patchogue, complete with News Twelve, to cover the event! I did see what appeared to be a professional Photographer taking a few photos, hopefully they will be printed in one of our local Newspapers.

Merry Christmas
Happy Hanukkah
Happy Quanza
