Mid-Day Music at Melville
January 22 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Presented and performed by pianist and singer
BRAD HALLS
The music concert series Mid-Day Music at Melville returns to Melville United Church in Fergus for the next performance, in its 3rd season on Wednesday, January 22, 2025 with the concert beginning at 12 noon and continuing until about 1 p.m.
The next performance on January 22 will feature selections from movies released in 1944 and 1945. The trauma of World War II was coming to an end, and the movie studios released films which both reflected life in wartime, and many movies that harkened back with nostalgic films of days gone by. Great songwriters generated classic songs for these movies – songwriters such as Harry Warren, Jimmy McHugh, Harold Arlen and Jule Styne. Their music was introduced in the movies by the biggest stars of the day – Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Betty Grable, Dick Haymes, Gene Kelly and more. Come and enjoy great songs including “Accentuate the Positive”, “The More I See You”, “I Fall in Love Too Easily”, and two of the only songs ever written for a movie by the legendary Rodgers and Hammerstein and many more.
There is absolutely no admission charge to attend any of these concerts, but a voluntary donation, all of which will go to Melville United Church to help keep the heat on and the piano tuned, is always gratefully received.
