It has been three years since the sounds of Belleville’s barbershop chorus were heard in concert. But this approaching Christmas season is when the choir will “rise again.”

For many years, the choir made an annual tour of various nursing and retirement homes in the Quinte area to spread their unique brand of Christmas cheer. Because of continuing lockdowns in some cases and remaining covid concerns, the choir is presenting its own yule season concert on Saturday, Nov. 19 at 2 p.m. in the Maranatha Church hall on College Street.
