Meyerson Symphony Center Nov. 22 at 8 p.m. Chorus director Dr. Timothy Seelig says the vocally gifted group is totally engaged in giving back to the community through their music. Proceeds from the concert will benefit the North Texas Food Bank. Last year at a concert at SMU’s Caruth Auditorium, Resounding Harmony raised enough for 65,000 meals. In the larger venue, they hope to double that. For more information, visit resoundingharmony.org.
