Chorus hosts quartet workshop for competitive quartets

The Choral-Aires Chorus, a Sweet Adelines International medaling chorus, invites area female barbershop quartets to the second of a three-part series of workshops at 7 p.m., Tuesday, November 15, at the Redeemer Lutheran Church Recreation Center (345 S. Kenilworth Avenue, Elmhurst). Lynda Keever, a music judge and well-known vocal and quartet coach within Sweet Adelines International will teach the workshop titled “Join the MUSIC! Join the FUN!” Lynda will review best quartet practices, and help existing quartets identify the best music for their groups. Space for this free workshop is limited; early registration is recommended.

More than 100 women from Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin sing tight harmonies a cappella (without instrumentation) with the Choral-Aires Chorus, the 2008 Lake Michigan Region 3 Champion with the Sweet Adelines International. This program is partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency. More information about the Chorus can be found at their website, http://choral-aires.com.
