Men of Song

November 2, 2016

Long past the age when most folks have traded a cubicle in the office for a rocker on the front porch, the 70-year-old Men of Song choir has decided to retire from the public scene.

The 24-member Men of Song will perform a final program at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 4, at the Pleasant Valley Stake Cultural Hall, 5640 S. 850 East in South Ogden. Admission is free.
