Mirage

Mirage . . .  An Oasis of Harmony . . . These four ladies joined forces as Mirage during the summer of 2008.  We enjoy each other’s company immensely and spend a good deal of our time together laughing and socializing.  We also work hard to make our music better for ourselves and our audiences.  Mirage enjoyed our first Region 19 Quartet Competition this past April, 2010 where we were awarded a Silver Medal, 2nd Place finish.  Looks like we're on the move towards a bright and sunny future.

Christy, our lead, started singing with Sweet Adelines when she was 12.  She lives in Salisbury, MD with her 4 year old, completely adorable daughter, Leilani.  Christy sings with the Harbor City Music Company in Baltimore, MD where she is their resident choreographer.  She also sings with the newly formed Harmony on the Bay Chorus.  She is a high school English teacher, dance teacher and promising young author.

Stephanie, our tenor, probably has the longest Sweet Adeline history of the quartet with 20 consecutive years and a few more before that.  She is the director of the Jersey Sound Chorus and also a member of the Reading Pagoda Chorus.  She also co-directs a Men’s chorus with her father in Doylestown, PA.  She works in the Clinical Research Industry and lives in Quakertown, PA with her two barbershop sons, Danny and Cory.

Pam, our bass, lives in Hummelstown, PA and has been singing with the Greater Harrisburg Chorus for 23 years.  Pam and husband Terry live in Hummelstown, PA and have three sons, Michael, Matt and Mark and a lovely daughter, Allie.  We’re grateful she finds time for Mirage between her new job and her many family activities.  You can often find the whole family tailgating at the Ursinus University football games where her oldest son, Michael, is a star player on their football team.

Jenn, our baritone, lives in West Chester, PA and has been singing with Sweet Adelines for almost 15 years.  She has a very busy schedule between her demanding career, two choruses (Jersey Sound and Pride of Baltimore) and, of course, our quartet.  Jenn also keeps plenty busy with her dozen or so fish and her 7 adopted children (Leilani, Danny, Cory, Michael, Matt, Mark and Allie!!!)
