The Hi Lo Silvers offer two concerts annually, on Mother’s Day weekend in May and in December.  The HLS perform on Friday evening and on Sunday afternoon during the same weekend.  The December concert includes seasonal favorites followed by an audience sing-along.  For the May concert, the Hi Lo Silvers sing standards, folk tunes, spirituals, and songs from Broadway and films. 

For many years and continuing today, members of HLS have song patriotic songs at Ft. Bayard in the celebration of Memorial Day in May, Veterans Day in November, and Laying of Wreaths in December.  Occasionally, HLS sing for community organizations.  

Today, HLS include nineteen singers. Anyone who would like to join is invited to attend a rehearsal and talk with Director Nada Dates. Rehearsals are Wednesdays from 12:30 –2:30 in First Presbyterian Church on Swan Street in Silver City. Singers are directed by Nada Dates and accompanied by Rhonda Gorog on piano, Bill Baldwin on bass violin, and Melinda McClanahan on percussion.
