Liberty Oak Chorus is so happy and proud to share the video of our virtual chorus performing Bridge Over Troubled Water. We offer this video as a "love letter" to our family and friends, who are so important to us. Enjoy!
We are thrilled to welcome three new members to our chorus. Enrica Mercorelli, a lead, Julie Enriques, a bass, and baritone, Casey Antonucci. Julie is a dual member with LOC and Harmony Celebration Chorus. We can't wait to be back on the risers singing with them. Congratulations to these three lovely ladies!
Liberty Oak recently enjoyed joint rehearsals via Zoom with other Sweet Adeline Choruses. We had a Valentine-themed rehearsal with Evergreen Chorus from Poughkeepsie, NY, where we shared our favorite chorus performance videos of great love songs! We also spent some time with Harmony Celebration Chorus from Ridgewood, NJ, singing and performing some songs we both have in our repertoires! In both cases we shared some fun in smaller groups, trying to come up with strange things in common or learning about how we stay engaged with our fellow singers. Thank you to our friends for participating with us in these exciting nights!
It is a very sad time for all of us with the passing of our dear chorus sister Lynn Weiner. First & foremost, Lynn was a loving mother to her son Matthew & beloved wife to Jeff. Lynn was a baritone, front row member, past board member, energetic physical warm-up team member and quartet member. She will be greatly missed.
2020 has made us all too familiar with pandemics, hurricanes, quarantines, earthquakes, concerns about the health and safety of family and friends near and far. Thank goodness we had our Liberty Oak Chorus activities and experiences to look forward to each week. Oh wait. LOC as we knew it was suddenly gone. Literally here one day and gone the next. It felt like we lost not only the music but each other and it was devastating.
Congratulations to Brenda Strauss, who is celebrating 55 years as a member of Sweet Adelines International! We are so proud and honored to have her as part of our chorus.
Liberty Oak Chorus and Heart of New Jersey Chorus got togther to celebrate Halloween and rehearse! We danced, played trivia, sang some songs and enjoyed looking at each other's costumes! A great time was had by all.
