Sean Fleming and Beth Preston are creating a new singing group for seniors called "Classic Harmony.” Many members of Hearts Ever Young that dissolved as a non-profit after 10 years were trying to get a group back together.
 
Preston said, "Sean and I have been bandying about the idea of getting a regular singing group together. We can't duplicate the H.E.Y. vibe that "The Carols" created, but we were determined to get people together to sing the songs they know and love!" 
 
Classic Harmony welcomes seniors of all abilities, regardless of previous singing or musical experience. The goal is to keep voices energized and healthy while enjoying a positive social atmosphere. The group will choose from a wide variety of music including pop, gospel, Broadway tunes, folk songs, and familiar selections from the Great American Songbook. 
 
Membership will include a small donation to help pay for the sheet music. Rehearsals will be held at the Lincoln Home, 22 River Road in Newcastle at 2 p.m. on Tuesdays beginning on Tuesday, Feb. 6. No advanced sign up - just come and enjoy the fun!
