Saratoga Soundtrack Chorus Captures First Place 

SARATOGA SPRINGS — On April 25 in Albany, the Saratoga Soundtrack Chorus captured first place in Division A (small chorus containing 12-25 singing members) at the Greater New York/New Jersey Region 15 Annual Convention and Competition, Sweet Adelines International. 

Under the direction of Jennifer Hunter, twenty-four singers took the stage to perform in a four-part barbershop style competition. Seven of the chorus members were first-time competitors.

The chorus performed two songs: “This Could Be the Start of Something Big,” written by Steve Allen and arranged by Larry Wright, and “From the First Hello to the Last Goodbye,” written by Johnny Burke and arranged by Jim Arns. Both songs contained adaptations by Nancy Faddegon. 

Saratoga Soundtrack Chorus is an award-winning women’s a cappella ensemble specializing in four-part harmony. Since its founding in 2008, the chorus has entertained audiences with a diverse repertoire that spans classics, jazz, ballads, and contemporary selections. Their musical performance is visually enhanced through characterization and choreography.
