Singing Dutchmen Seek New Members
The year 2015 marks the 51st year anniversary of The Singing Dutchmen. The group was formed by Gloria V. Anderson and a core group of men from the Shiloh Presbyterian Church Choir. The “Dutchmen” average 12 performances per year singing for church benefits, nursing homes, civic and social functions. Members come from Emporium, Johnsonburg, Kane, Kersey, Ridgway and St. Marys.
The “Dutchmen” award a music scholarship in honor of their former director, Gloria V. Anderson. The award is presented to a high school senior from the three county area of Cameron, Elk and McKean, planning to continue their education in Music Performance or Music Education.
