SARATOGA SPRINGS — The last time the members of Saratoga Soundtrack Chorus sang harmonies together was March 2020. The 28-member chartered chorus of Sweet Adelines International has remained active - learning new songs, producing a virtual choir video and holding online rehearsals via Zoom, but members missed singing together.
Utilizing microphones and an FM transmitter, two dozen members of the group, under the guidance of chorus director Jennifer Hunter, got together with wireless microphones in the parking area of the Knights of Columbus in Saratoga Springs to sing in the same location.
Following months of research, the launching of a fundraising program to purchase needed equipment, and with safety procedures in place, members sat in the comfort of their own cars and participate in a rehearsal heard over their car radios.
The chorus hopes to continue the rehearsals and is considering car performances in the places it often performs, such as nursing homes and local events. Saratoga Soundtrack is a championship a cappella women’s chorus dedicated to musical excellence. For more information about the chorus, go to: saratogasoundtrack.org.
