The pandemic stifled what normally would be a hectic November and December for the Dickens Carolers.
But a portion of the seasonal troupe of metro-area singers has still managed to provide some melodic and harmonic cheer, albeit at times in non-traditional ways.
“We have been singing, but almost everything has been virtual or outdoors,” said Brad Zimmerman, the group’s founder and manager. “We’re doing about 10 percent of what we’d normally do. Almost all times we’re masked.”
Normally, that would mean about 250 appearances in one season – sometimes multiple events at once, as they often sing in quartets or octets, drawing from a roster of more than 50. They’ll sing at company parties, during strolls through a store, outside a storefront on big shopping days and at tree lightings.
