Baleigh B.

10 Year SCS Singer!

Baleigh is a Junior at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School. She is a majorette with the high school’s Marching Band, Lacrosse Team and School Ambassador. During summer drama camps, she sharpened her skills performing short plays and is a cast member of the theater program at school.

MaryAnn B.N.

5 Year SCS Singer!
Metropolitan Chorus
My life is always happiest when I am part of a musical group. I grew up in SEOhio, making music in church and school. This includes my 4 years at Ohio University. After college sang with a Sweet Adeline choir ( ladies singing barbershop style harmony), which also sang at my wedding. When I married and moved to our NEOhio family farm, I did 8 years with Ravenna Community Choir. When I retired from teaching in 2016 I was delighted to have time to begin singing with Summit Choral Society. Am also part of the Akron Symphony Chorus and the annual concert of Gospel Meets Symphony. For me, one of life's greatest pleasures is having an excellent piece of music, a skilled leader, and a choir of terrific voices around me, making the magic that only live music can do.

Jane M.

2 Year SCS Singer!

I've always been involved in music - playing piano solo and as an accompanist, playing percussion in band, singing in church, school, and community choirs, participating in musical theater. I'm excited to have found a musical family in our "new" home of Akron since we moved here a few years ago.

Tim L.

15 Year SCS Singer!
Metropolitan Chorus
A child of the '60s, my path to Beethoven, Brahms and Bach was via the Beach Boys, Beatles and Byrds. Time spent in Borromeo Seminary and as a counselor at Camp Christopher deepened my appreciation of joining voices in song whether it was in chapel or around a campfire. Married to the most patient Patti Longville for 45 years, retired from the Summit County Board of MR/DD, I have relished my time participating in the programs of the Summit Choral Society with such gifted singers. Can't wait to point my young grandsons in that direction in a few short years. Personal goal as a singer? To someday make it through an entire concert without my bow tie becoming crooked.

I am a junior at Revere High School and a three year Performance Choir member. My younger sister, Avery, joined me in the group last year too. Outside of choir, I participate in marching band, speech and debate, Revere Players, and mock trial. On the few days I’m not busy with school and extracurriculars, you’ll likely find me brunching with friends or reading a book (I am an avid fan of “The Scarlet Letter” by Nathaniel Hawthorne and just about any poem written by Emily Dickinson).
