Spreading Cheer in Oak Creek

Crosstown Harmony Chorus was invited to be apart of the festivities at the Oak Creek Community Center where we sang many Christmas carols for the attendees. There were festive lights, crafts for kids, hot cocoa, snacks and even Santa was there! Seeing the excitement of the little kids when they listened to us sing was precious. 


Thank you for attending Holiday Harmonies!

Crosstown Harmony hosted a Christmas concert, Holiday Harmonies with Crosstown, on Monday, December 9th. Doors open at 7pm, concert begins at 7:30pm. It was a glorious evening of favorite holiday charts followed by mingling and refreshments. Thank you to everyone who came and made the evening so special. 


Caroling at the Burlington Christmas Parade

Crosstown Harmony spread lots of Christmas cheer at the Burlington Christmas Parade & Tree Lighting Ceremony on Friday, December 6th, 2024.

The event was full of sweets, happiness, and fantastical floats that glide through the historic downtown and Crosstown Harmony was there in our annual tradition of caroling the streets starting at the parade to get everyone in a festive mood.


Bariatric Holiday Party

Crosstown Harmony Chorus brought their musical talents to the Aurora Grafton clinic for their Bariatric Holiday Party. They had a great time singing with an appearance by the big guy himself, Santa! A unique healing environment in the heart of Grafton. As the only ‘green’ medical center in Wisconsin, this facility was designed with your health and the environment in mind. You’ll find an extraordinary team of doctors, nurses and caregivers, along with exceptional amenities at Aurora Medical Center in Grafton.

Sing Along with the New Berlin Senior Citizens group

The New Berlin Senior Citizen Center invited Crosstown to perform at their annual Christmas party at the New Berlin Golf Course. Everyone in the crowd was looking good in their festive attire and we especially enjoyed when they participated in some of our sing alongs. We hope to be back again in the new year.

Retreat = Learning, Laughs and Love

Crosstown Harmony welcomed special guest coaches Karen Sweeters and her sister Gina Kaiser to share their knowledge and skills in barbershop during our semi-annual weekend retreat.

With over 35 years in Sweet Adelines International, Karen has gone from singing "on the risers" to directing Harmony on the Sound, 15 time North Atlantic Region 1 Champions, located in Trumball, Conneticut. She's also a Certified Judge in the Expression Category and has escalated to the top level of Sweet Adelines musicianship as a Master Director.


SAI Int'l Watch Party

Every year, Sweet Adelines International’s international convention draws the world’s best female, barbershop a cappella groups to compete in a fierce competition of worldwide, top talent as quartets and choruses contend for the championship title. More than 5,000 people from all over the world attend our International Convention & Competition to see the barbershop battle of the best. This year's competition was in Kansas City so Crosstown Members got together for a Kansas City BBQ themed party to watch the live stream of the competition. Filled with great singing, hilarious skits and catchy music it was a fun filled day of Barbershop. 


A Hauntingly Good Rehearsal

Crosstown members attend their monthly rehearsal in costume for a bit of Halloween fun. We'd love to have you singing on the risers with us too! Join us every Monday at 7pm at Auxano Church in Elm Grove. 


Harmony at the Home Opener

Saturday, October 19th was Crosstown Harmony Night at the HOME OPENER for the Milwaukee Admirals where we sang the National Anthem before the game. We just love getting out in the community supporting our local teams. Consider hiring us for your next event!
