Quartets

We encourage our members to form into quartets. Here is our current lineup:

Cloud Nine

Cloud Nine performs women’s barbershop style a cappella singing as a group of nine; 2 tenors, 3 leads, 2 baritones, and 2 basses. Current members represent the three local Sweet Adelines choruses of Voices Northwest (Everett), A Cappella Joy (Kirkland), and Seattle Shores (Shoreline). This double quartet was organized to meet the need for weekday entertainment (M-F, 9 to 5) north of Seattle/Bellevue. Cloud Nine entertains at retirement homes, luncheons, parties, and community events. To book Cloud Nine for your event, call Suzanne at 425-293-8971.

Vivace quartet

Vivace Voca

Take a Sentimental Journey back to the ‘40’s with the lush harmonies heard in the days of the big bands. Step into the ‘50’s and rock a bit with some Good Old Acappella. We specialize in songs you will likely recognize from the pop charts over the years.

In fact, you may have already heard us! We are the carolers on the television advertisement for the yearly Snow Train to Leavenworth!

However you want to celebrate your next special event, Vivace’ offers an eclectic repertoire and would love to share their music at your next special occasion! Contact Gayle at (425) 820-9825.

ZEST!

First year singing together and having fun rehearsing, learning new music and finding out what quartet singing is all about. I'm pretty sure we'd all agree that our main goal this year is to experience CONTEST together and know what it's like to live through walking on/off that CONTEST stage. Three of us have never been in a quartet before so we trust that our veteran fearless leader Juanita will point us in the right direction. We joke about calling ourselves "Mixed Nuts" as often it seems more reflective of our "born free" personalities over our spirited ZEST for life...clearly a toss-up.

Seattle Flair

Anne Sutherland, Karen Carter, Jodi Meyer, and Diane Lee got together the first of the year and decided to put a quartet together! After Regional, they picked out the name "Seattle Flair" and were pleasantly surprised it was available from International! Jodi and Diane have never competed in a regional competition and are looking forward to getting on that stage and singing their hearts out. Karen is a member of Ovation and has competed in several quartets, as has Anne, who also has regional quartet contest jewelry.
