On Wednesday, May 30th we had the honor of being coached by Bonnie Fedyski!

Bonnie Fedyski joined the Choral-Aires Chorus in the early 1990's and has been co-director of the chorus since July 2012. Members of the chorus have had the privilege of representing the region in 13 international contests, placing in the top ten, ten of those 13 appearances. In 2013, the Choral-Aires Chorus earned eighth place medals in the Sweet Adelines International Competition held in Hawaii.

Fedyski has been involved with barbershop music for nearly 30 years, and has held a variety of leadership positions in the Chorus, as well as in the region to which the Chorus belongs. Serving as choreographer, section leader, on the Chorus’ music team, and handling administrative duties for Region 3 and the International organization’s Coronet Club, has prepared her to direct the Choral-Aires Chorus with a depth of experience, and a perspective rare for a director. Adding to her deep musical qualifications, she has also been an International Quartet Champion. She is a great asset to the Chorus and is well loved by Chorus members.

Bonnie and her husband of nearly 40 years, Ron, live in Wheaton, IL; they have four grown children and four grandchildren. Bonnie’s hobbies include caring for her grandchildren, all things barbershop music related, and sharing time with friends.

We learned so much, thank you Bonnie!
