"The power of voices harmonizing into one intense sound fills the room with an energy that is difficult to understand and impossible to explain. They sing as one…and the result is a remarkable display of a cappella four-part harmony."

Denise Winberger, tenor; Mary Tanner, lead; Rhonda Spolestra, bari; Maria Manzare, bass.

Blue Skies Quartet is made up of four women whose goal is to do just what their name implies - brighten the lives of those who hear them sing. Each of these women brings her own special talent to the quartet: tenor Denise Weinberger, a barbershopper from birth, was also a member of an award-winning chorale in college; baritone Rhonda Spolestra has sung in folk groups and bands for many years; lead Mary Tanner thoroughly enjoys the camaraderie and special bond with her quartet sisters; bass Maria Manzare provides the warm, rich foundation of this wonderful group.Contact Blue Skies for more information!

Connie Cole, tenor; Chris McClenthan, lead; Mary Connelly, bari; Marie Tackman, bass.

We are Maybe Quartet - a rather funny name for a quartet, but it seemed very fitting for us when we were asked, "will you be practicing tonight?" "Maybe." "Will you sing a song for us?" "Maybe!" "Will you register as a bona fide quartet?" "Maybe!" And so our name was born! We are four professional women, four mothers with very busy schedules whose love of music brought us togeter over one year ago. That same love of music has helped us forge new friendships with one another, and begin a new journey to musical excellence - both as a quartet and as chorus members. We simply love singing together. Contact Maybe for more information!
