Gem City’s Incredible 35 Year History! |
|
Since a merger of two local chapters in 1970 the Gem City Chorus has been dedicated to the education and preservation of the ‘barbershop style’ of a cappella harmony - one of the four American musical art forms We are a proud member of Sweet Adelines International, Region 4. Gem City Chorus has won an impressive number of International medals including five gold, five silver, and one each of third, fourth and fifth - a feat achieved by no other Sweet Adeline chorus! Our recent second place regional placement qualified us for a wildcard invitation to the 2009 International Competition to be held in Nashville, Tennessee. We perform in annual shows, for the community, work on our skills. learn new music and provide musical education for new and potential members. We are fortunate to work with an excellent director, Jean Barford, and a variety of coaches to help us hone our craft. Gem City is proud to have two members who are Queens of Harmony - our director Jean Barford and Edie Moorehead, our baritone sound leader. Both talented ladies were members of the 1974 quartet champions The Sounds of Music. Costumes worn by the Gem City Chorus are memorable! Enjoy a bit of costume trivia with an Adobe slideshow doll display. Each doll and it’s competition costume was hand crafted by our own Donna Gewertz! 35 years! Music keeps the mind and body young!
