On July 26 - 2012 - The Mather Lifeways Center located at 3235 Central Ave - Chicago, Il 60634 - held a delightful concert for Seniors and everybody who appreciates the multitalented performers.
The talented performers do a variety of pieces - from Broadway hits and other famous venues. The audience enjoyed every piece - so the soloist performers do show a lot of enthusiasm - however the lady who accompanies on the piano needs to be complemented on her mastery of the instrument. She knows how to make the piano stand out - but never upstages the performers. It's a very hard task to accomplish.
All the tunes were done well - but "Mack the Knife" eternal hit sounded extra good. All the veteran performers seem to have a great time - performing. It has to do with lack of pressure to become a "super star" in their advanced respective ages.
Another good thing about this group is that the they involve the audience to participate in their acts - they seem to be more successful in their involving the audiences than other ansembles. Again - in an advanced age - the lack of pressure for stardom equals - great, relaxed performances.
In a nutshell - the show flows and the smiles on the faces of the audience - are contagious.The lady singing the steady hit - "Can't Help Loving this Man of Mine" - has a magnificent mezzo voice. The whole group collectively shows tons of talent.
