Valley Voices is proud to have the following quartets associated with our chorus. We endorse all of them as excellent singers and entertainers, suitable for any occasion...
QWiNN
QWiNN
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.

Tonic!
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!

Lady Lyrix
Some things really are destined by fate – and Lady Lyrix is one of those things! These four women are all fairly new to the ScotianAires, but a conversation at International 2019 in Sandusky Ohio sparked something…. Michelle and Elizabeth are sisters, and the idea of singing together had already been a dream for them. Heather was anxious to sing sing sing, and into the room walked Tanya who is known for never saying no! “We’ll just give it a shot” they said.
That following spring, they met for the first time, sang together privately, and the magic between the four of them was electric. Lady Lyrix knew they had found something simply special, not just in the music they create, but in a really amazing friendship.
We're so excited to have been the mic testers at Area 1's AC&C 2023 and want to thank everyone for such a warm welcome and the support on our stage debut.
