January, 2009 – West Babylon, NY - The beautiful
sounds of barbershop harmonies filled the air of the Huntington Senior
Center right before the holidays as the Long Island Board of Realtors
(LIBOR) sponsored a very special afternoon of music for the Huntington
Senior Center featuring the popular Sweet Adelines. The program
featured many selections of traditional holiday songs and tunes familiar
to the Senior Center’s enthusiastic audience.
“What better gift to give people during the holiday season, than
the gift of music,” said Mary Fudens of LIBOR’s Public Relations
Committee. “We’re just so delighted by the response
to the Sweet Adelines’ performance and to hear so many in the audience
sing along and reminisce to the wonderful selection of songs,” she
continued.
The Sweet Adelines are a highly respected worldwide organization of
women singers committed to advancing the musical art form of barbershop
harmony through education and performance. This independent, nonprofit
music education association is one of the world's largest singing organizations
for women. Members extend over five continents and belong to more than
600 choruses and 1,200 quartets. Today's Sweet Adelines choruses and
quartets sing exciting a cappella, four-part harmony music, barbershop
style. The music includes special arrangements of today's ballads and
upbeat songs, popular show tunes, and even jazz. Members say that singing
the powerfully balanced sounds of barbershop harmony provides a rich,
rewarding experience.
The
Sweet Adelines performance at the Huntington Senior Center was part of
the Long Island Board of Realtor’s “We’re More Than
Realtors” initiative that supports numerous programs and charitable
community organizations. The “We’re More Than Realtors® campaign
was created by the LIBOR Public Relations Committee. The campaign
raises the public’s awareness about Realtors® and their philanthropic
efforts within their communities.
