Valley Voices Quartets

Lady Lyrix formed in late 2019, and after Covid lock downs, we finally were able to sing together regularly and build a repertoire. Our lead, Michelle, and our tenor, Elizabeth, are sisters and regularly bring that sisterly love to rehearsals. Michelle is a beautiful story teller, and Elizabeth adds such sparkle to our sound. Our bass, Tanya, is a true performer and a “lead with a bass voice”. Our baritone, Heather, is a musical genius and has been known to rewrite parts to better fit our range, or do up personal learning tracks for our songs.

We really are great friends first, and quartet-mates second - we learned that rehearsals require built in “catch up” time.

AC&C 2024 we competed for the first time and were over the moon happy to receive the ‘New Voices’ award for highest scoring novice quartet. In addition, we also placed 4th out of 10 competing quartets. Wow!

We can’t wait to sing for you.

Mirasol is a novice quartet, joining forces in the Spring of 2024 and immediately launching into prep work to compete at AC&C. Members Sarah (Lead), Kelly (Tenor), Erika (Bari) and Monica (Bass), are all new members of Valley Voices, with three members joining the chorus after participating in Summer Sing 2023. Kelly and Sarah, both experienced and talented performers, bring their confidence and considerable musical skills to the group; Erika and Monica, sisters, grew up singing at family gatherings and get-togethers, and are enjoying the new-found thrill of performance. Together, the four friends are loving spending time with each other, further developing their blend, and learning new music. 

Although QWiNN formed in 2019, the members have a combined barbershop singing experience of over 80 years, and have been in a total of 13 quartets! Three of our members (Pat – Lead, Paula – Baritone, and Gina – Bass) are all Section Leads in Valley Voices. Janet (Tenor) is a Long-Distance Member of Valley Voices.
We have all been life-long singers. As sisters, Pat and Janet have always sung harmonies together. Pat sang in 2 choruses in Ontario, including Harmony Inc. International Champions A Capella Showcase, before returning to NS and joining Valley Voices. Paula and Gina have been singing-sisters in Valley Voices for many years. Even through COVID, QWiNN found ways to get together and enjoy friendship and support.
 

Marion (Lead), Adele (Bass), Cathy (Baritone) and Mickey (Tenor) love singing a wide variety of song styles together in close four-part harmony. Over the past decade, Tonic! has enjoyed performing for many audiences throughout Atlantic Canada, as well as competing both regionally and internationally.

Tonic! has also proudly represented Harmony Inc.’s Area 1 region as Quartet Champions from 2015 through 2019. At the 2018 International Convention and Contest in Orlando, FL, Tonic! received fifth place medals as well as the “Image of Harmony Award” for service within the organization and the wider community. Tonic is thrilled to have the opportunity to perform for live audiences once again, and can't wait to entertain you!
