The Clipper City Chordsmen have been chosen recipients of the 2019 Wesley Teply Community Service Award in the Arts. The award was established in 1999 by the Lakeshore Wind Ensemble Association to recognize individuals who have substantially contributed to the arts in the greater Manitowoc area. The Clipper City Chordsmen barbershop chorus is a membership-based organization of male singers that practices, performs and has fun. The Chordsmen perform locally including annual Spring, Summer, and Christmas Shows as well as Singing Valentines in February and visitations to area assisted living/nursing homes and hospitals. They also perform with other choruses for special events and upon request. The 2019 Wesley Teply Community Service Award in the Arts will be presented to The Chordsmen during the Lakeshore Wind Ensemble’s “Winds of March” concert on Saturday, March 2nd at the Capitol Civic Centre.
