Honoring our Veterans

A small group from Crosstown Harmony Chorus, directed by Kari Midtbo Schwartz, was thrilled to be singing for an Honor Flight at Mitchell International Airport. Stars and Stripes Honor Flight, Inc. honors veterans with a life-changing trip to Washington, D.C. to visit the memorials and experience a day of honor and thanks. We were honored to be apart of their journey. 


Admirals make it to the Playoffs!

The Milwaukee Admirals are in the Play-offs and Crosstown Harmony Chorus was there to sing the National Anthem at their first home game! We just love cheering our local teams on. 


Culver's Share Night

Crosstown Harmony teamed up with our local Elm Grove Culver's for a night of FUNdraising! We delivered food, cleaned tables and got insight into the workings of a Wisconsin institution in exchange for a portion of sales on April 8th to be donated back to Crosstown. Thank you to everyone who came out to support local business and Crosstown!


Coaching is a family affair

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.

Karen has gone from singing "on the risers" to directing Harmony on the Sound, 18 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.


Send Your Love

Chorus members visited homes, places of work, restaurants etc.. to sing to your loved ones in four-part harmony this Valentine's Day. 


Sisters in Song

Crosstown Harmony Chorus was excited to be coached by co-directors of the Choral-Aires Chorus, Bonnie Fedyski and Amy Brinkman. They are sisters who have sung together since childhood and bring more than 50 years of experience to their leadership roles. Musical excellence and boundless energy make rehearsals, competitions, and performances an exhilarating experience. Amy and Bonnie bring out the best in every individual and challenge everyone to contribute personally and musically to the synergy of the chorus.


Panda Express Fundraiser

Crosstown Harmony Chorus and Panda Express teamed up to raise funds! On Monday, January 20th visitors who gave our special code to the fine folks at the Panda Express at 18190 Bluemound Road in Brookfield had 20% of their purchase donated back to Crosstown Harmony Chorus. Thank you to everyone who came out on that blustery cold day for your support!
