QuartetsThe members of Voices in Harmony Chorus are involved in three quartets. Quartets are another fun way to enjoy the friendship and fun that is barbershop singing, and we hope to have many more soon! Check below for our current quartets. Harmony 4 Fun - This talented quartet, formed in 1990, has enjoyed entertaining at many different events with their fun and upbeat repertoire of songs Novelty Shop - Four part comedy in the barbershop style!

Novelty ShopFour part comedy in the barbershop style! Sally Burnes, Tenor Sue Gleason, Lead Lynne Peirce, Bass Cindy Gazetti, Baritone 734-668-8040 lerskine@umich.edu Novelty Shop has become a dream come true for four former Sweet Adeline Regional quartet champs looking for the true meaning of life… set to music. First there was the zany Sally Burns, tenor of " New Review", who had always wanted to sing with Susan Gleason, the hilarious loose cannon lead singer of " Accolade". Then along came Cindy Gazetti, the classy closet-comedian and lead of " Harmonix" who had ALSO always wanted to sing with Susan and was willing to switch to baritone to do it. Last, there was bass Lynne Peirce, currently quartetless. Lynne had sung with Susan in " Accolade" for nine years so she was invited to jump into the experiment. Well… this decision was a no-brainer, but Lynne agreed to sing with Sue again anyway. From the first rehearsal in December 2001 the quartet realized they could polish off more new music and bowls of popcorn than any quartet they had ever sung with… and those numbered in the several. While not designed to be a "contest quartet", Novelty Shop delighted the audience (and the judges!) in their debut performance at the Buckeye Invitational Comedy Quartet Contest in Columbus, Ohio in August 2003. They shared the biggest laugh of the evening, however, when they learned they had forsaken a first time championship for a second place finish due to a slight technicality… a 180 point time penalty. These ladies just LOVE being on the stage! This foursome has found a match of free spirits who enjoy each other and love creating stand up comedy performed in four-part harmony. We invite you to sit back and laugh with Novelty Shop. And we dare you to figure out who to watch! >>Back to Top of Page |
