Posted by: Save $5 on a performance featuring Nova Singers by purchasing tickets online before the show. And, if you're a student with ID, you can see the performance for free. Children 12 and younger also can attend free.
The Nova Singers will perform favorite songs of the group’s last 50 years in a concert series called Golden Oldies.
The concerts will include popular American standards, choral favorites from the group’s early years, spirituals and even a little Broadway.
Nova Singers, under the direction of Chuck Stanley, will be accompanied by pianist Anthony Ciotti and other instrumentalists.

Nova Singers began 50 years ago in the living room of founding director Peggy Joyce Barber, a high-school choral director who wanted to create a place for her students to sing after they graduated. Barber, who died in 2024, directed the chorus until 2010. The 130 singers range in age from 16 to 80-plus, and two of the original singers, including director Chuck Stanley, are still with the group.
