Episode 124 (0:36:28)

Get to know Fatima Whelan, who brings a wealth of experience and love for the art form to Valley Voices A Cappella Chorus, her quartet Flourish, and to the judging panel for Harmony, Incorporated. We talk about a cappella from barbershop to contemporary, the role music plays in helping people feel like they belong, and so much more!

Jill Clark

Episode 122 (0:37:44)

On this episode we sit down with Jill Clark to talk about her journey from falling in love with a cappella to owning her own production company. It's been quite a ride and we are especially excited to feature Jill as a woman who primarily works on the technical side of things - something that is still so uncommon!

Jeanne O'Connor

Episode 121 (0:36:47)

Our hearts are overflowing with the myriad of ways we could introduce this week's guest, but we'll leave it at: Living Legend. Jeanne O'Connor exemplifies everything it means to "give of talents, time, and song" because that is exactly what she has been doing for over 64 years. Jeanne joined The Village Vocal Chords of Harmony Incorporated at just 14 years old, eventually going on to be their director, leading the group to 20 gold medals. She was also a member of Queen quartets, The Scale Blazers (1964), Esprit De Corps (1974), and U4X (2008). She also lent her voice to winning quartets, Kaleidoscope and Voices. Jeanne is also a longtime volunteer and member of the International Board, including multiple terms as International President. We *could* go on and on, but we'll let you tune into the interview to learn more!
