Mamma mia! The Valley Concert Chorale is partnering with Vine Cinema and Alehouse in Livermore next week for a movie screening and sing-along for friends and families willing to let their best voices shine to their favorite ABBA songs.
“We are excited … It’s something new for VCC and we know it will be a fun experience,” chorale board president Sarah Allendorf said in a statement. “It’s such a fun film and great songs to sing especially in a big theater, with great sound and a big screen. Grab some friends and join us.”
Valley Concert Chorale has maintained a mission of enriching Tri-Valley communities through music and nurturing the next generation of singers for over 60 years. The nonprofit organization is all volunteer-based and receives funding through grants, fundraisers, ticket and membership sales, and donations.
“I wanted to do more outreach events and wanted to bring together chorale members, patrons, and the Tri-Valley community for something fun during the VCC off season,” Justin Beasley, VCC secretary and tenor section leader, told Livermore Vine.
“I discussed this suggestion with the VCC Board, talked with Vine Cinema to see what type of movie we can do and then boom” ‘Mamma Mia!’ sing-along was a go. This will be Valley Concert Chorale’s first time collaborating with Vine Cinema and Alehouse, and we hope to do more,” Beasley added.
As an active member of the chorale and a seasoned singer with his Bachelor of Arts in music, Beasley said, “Being in this chorale with such amazing members fills me with so much passion and happiness.”
The “Mamma Mia!” sing-along is set for next Saturday (Aug. 24) at 10 a.m. at Vine Cinema on First Street in Livermore. General admission is $15, seniors are $10, and students (K-12) are $5. Tickets are available for purchase at www.valleyconcertchorale.org.
