We are so happy to have Fran Pinsdorf and Jennifer Cremonesi joining our ranks in the lead section! Fran is a dual member with Harmony Celebration, and Jennifer is a brand new barbershopper.

We are excited to welcome Cheryl Tirri as our newest dual member with Liberty Oak Chorus and Harmony Celebration Chorus! Cheryl sings bass.
The weather gods smiled on us and LOC was able to have an outdoor rehearsal on a beautiful evening in Freehold! We got to sing together, meet new members, and spend time with friends we haven't seen in a while. A glorious night!
2020-2021 has been a very difficult year, but we at LOC are proud to present these awards and send our great thanks and congratulations to: Laura Partynski who received the DIrector's Award from Katie Blackwood for all her incredible efforts this past year; to Jan Rubino, our LOC Sweet Adeline of the Year for all her efforts as Vice President on behalf of LOC; and to our Unsung Heroine, Carol Meaney, for all her great work as our Membership Chair. They are all invaluable members to this chorus and we could not have made it through this year without them! The awards were presented at the Board Installation Ceremony on May 6.
Liberty Oak enjoyed a fun night together on May 6, when we installed our new officers and board members. The installation was led by our in-house "Wonder Woman Team"! We also sang together (virtually) and applauded several of our members as they received awards. It was a great event!
LOC welcomes two more wonderful members, Karen Kumpf and Gwen Tunderman, to our ranks! Gwen is a dual member with Harmony Celebration and Karen sings with Jersey Harmony, Harmony Celebration, and Sirens of Gotham choruses.
