Bel Canto Chorale

Bel Canto Chorale organized in 1968. In a letter dated September 30, 1968 to the Burlington City Council written by Chuck Rucker the group "decided to refine our group, and rather than strive for quantity of numbers we are instead going to be more concerned with quality and musicianship. In short, we intend to become a very fine adult vocal music group which can become a desirable asset to our city and the surrounding area". The reorganization included the direction being assumed by Miss Phyllis McAdams.

As the repertoire expanded over time, the organization changed the name in 2001 to Bella Voce.

Our name comes from the Italian for "beautiful voice," and the name itself emphasizes that from a group of musicians we craft a single voice. We take great pride in our clean and precise sound, evolved from the Cathedral Choirs of Britain-a sound characterized by a clean and pure upper register and a muscular bass.

We sing a variety of exciting vocal music from yesterday to today.

In 2012, a small band of singers gathered on a warm, late-summer's night in the chorus room at Belmont High, to discuss the possibility of forming a community chorus. Some of us sang in the six-week Belmont Parent-Teacher Chorus that winter. Our founding leader, Kathy Ryan, asked "Why can't we keep on singing all year round?" We closed the evening singing an a cappella round, committed to "going for it;" our numbers were few, but our spirit was strong.

They then signed with Laurie Records and now together recorded "I Wonder Why" which became a big hit. They had several other hits such as "When You Wish Upon A Star" and "Where Or When" but in 19601 they parted ways with Dion DiMucci going on to successful solo career.

Billing themselves as '800 pounds of harmony,' Chillicothe, Illinois' Big Four became Sweet Adelines Quartette Champs in 1953. Fine singers and entertainers, they appeared on tv with Jack Paar, Steve Allen, Arthur Godfrey and Dave Garraway of the 'Today Show' to name just a few.

Big Apple Chorus

When it was established in 1983, no one could have imagined that the Big Apple Chorus was going to make the kind of impact that would propel it through over 25 years of extraordinary musical performances. Its members are, after all, just ordinary people...husbands, wives, sons, fathers, mothers, and brothers...most without any formal musical training.

We work in just about every field you can think of. We are blue collar and white collar people, students and retirees, with a diversity that mirrors the great City our chorus so proudly represents - New York! And each week this seemingly-incongruous group gathers in Manhattan to make beautiful music together.

Why, one may ask, do we do it? The answer is simple: we sing for the joy of performing our beautiful and moving music for our appreciative audiences. And perform we do...with a verve and theatricality that puts the Big Apple Chorus in a class by itself.

For a group of men and women whose main musical qualification is simply that we enjoy singing and are able to carry a tune, the venues in which we have performed over the years (see "Chorus History") create for each of us an enviable list of stage experiences. The Big Apple Chorus has transformed scores of "ordinary Joe's" into stars!

Our members hail from all the boroughs of New York City, from New Jersey, Westchester, Long Island, Connecticut and from as far north as Saratoga Springs, New York. The map below will give you an idea of where we come from to sing with the Big Apple Chorus.

Musical influences include Ella Fitzgerald, Andra Day, Lianne La Havas, and ThirdStory.

Birmingham Sunlights

The Birmingham Sunlights developed their four-part a cappella style within the Church of Christ, where no musical instruments are permitted.

Upon becoming aware of the rich Jefferson County gospel quartet tradition they sought training from a senior quartet, the Sterling Jubilees, to learn songs traditional to the area.

Besides appearing at numerous festivals across the nation, such as the National Folk Festival in Lowell, Massachusetts, the Sunlights have toured five countries in Africa and performed extensively in the Caribbean and Australia under the auspices of the U.
