Houston, TX, May 07, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Houston’s Space City Sound Marks Decade of Harmony with Anniversary Concert Featuring International Quartet.
Space City Sound, Houston’s acclaimed all-voices a cappella chorus, will celebrate its 10th anniversary with a special concert, “Lightyear 10,” on Saturday, June 7, 2025. The event will showcase the chorus’s decade of musical achievements through a diverse repertoire, a performance with returning alumni, and the award-winning international quartet, Smoke Ring.
Under the direction of Patrick McAlexander, Space City Sound has garnered recognition for its unique interpretations and cohesive vocal blend. The chorus, which achieved a 10th-place ranking at the Barbershop Harmony Society’s 2024 International Barbershop Chorus competition, is set to perform its signature arrangements of songs spanning Broadway hits like “Opening Up” from Waitress The Musical and “When I Grow Up” from Matilda The Musical, to the jazz-pop standard “Don’t Know Why,” popularized by Norah Jones.
The anniversary celebration will also feature a performance by Smoke Ring, an internationally renowned a cappella quartet traveling from New York City. Their innovative approach to four-part harmony earned them 9th place at the Barbershop Harmony Society’s International Quartet competition.
