Meet Our Quartets

Quartets are available for performances.  Contact them at info@spiritofthelakeschorus.org.

Whistle Junction

 This fun-loving group loves to tell a joke and sing a song!  They truly demonstrate the sense of community that is so strongly felt in our chorus. A nice mix of Wisconsin and Illinois (hence the Whistle in their name), these gals travel back and forth across the Wisconsin/Illinois line to practice and/or perform. 

Elly Palmer (lead) hails from Crystal Lake, IL and is a skillful dental technician by day and the quartet wordsmith by night (there are no lyrics she can’t twist to accommodate the quartet's needs). 

Joan Albrecht (tenor) is from Ingleside, IL and is a busy Grandma by day.  She gives Whistle Junction its tinkly high notes and fabulous ear. 

Sue Neuls (baritone) from Hainesville, IL is the computer tech that ably fills organizational needs and tells the best jokes.  She wears many hats as she is also Team Leader of our chorus this year. 

Dona Button (bass) from Lake Geneva, WI  feels up to the challenge of keeping this  group “on task” after spending 34 years teaching first grade.

Whistle Junction is just one hilarious “field trip” for these four.

 

 

 

SWEET A's QUARTET

 

 

You may wonder where the name came from . . . our lead, Beth, joined our chorus, Spirit of the Lakes, nine months ago.  Every week when she leaves for rehearsal, her two sons ask if she's going to Sweet A's.  Hence . . .the quartet has a name!
 
This is an unusual quartet as we have more music than costumes.  Most Sweet Adeline quartets start with costumes . . .well, maybe not all, but it is sort of unusual since our tenor, Kay, was a buyer for clothing stores and also a costume designer.  Mary, our bass, is now the costume chair for the chorus.  You would think we would have a lot of costumes.
 
Michelle, our baritone, is our contact person and provides us with the rehearsal site.  She also works for an attorney, so she keeps us out of trouble.
 
We are a "new" quartet and love to sing.  Catch us at the next Spirit of the Lakes sing out or we'd love to sing for you!
