Lynn
Hartmuth has nearly 40 years of
Sweet Adelines experience, both as a singer and chorus director.
She earned many regional and International medals performing with the Seven Hills and Gem City choruses. With the
score earned by her Queen City Chorus
at the 2004 IES Harmony Classic, Lynn advanced to the level of Sweet
Adelines International Master Director.
Early in 2007, Queen City Chorus merged with Seven Hills Chorus to form
the Cincinnati Sound Chorus.
In their first Regional competition since the merger, the new chorus
won the Region #4 chorus championship under Lynn's direction, and
Cincinnati Sound will represent their Region at the 2008 International
Chorus Competition, to be held in Honolulu, Hawai'i.
Lynn
began her Sweet Adelines career by attending rehearsals of the Seven Hills Chorus with her mother,
Nancy. One thing led to another, and when she turned fifteen, she
was right up there singing with the chorus. Soon, her sister
Donna joined in too, and the entire family was involved in the
wonderful "hobby" of Barbershopping. Lynn's father, Frank,
directed two local men's barbershop choruses and sang with the
International Champion Southern
Gateway Chorus.
She
has sung in several quartets over the years, and was only eighteen
when she joined her first quartet, Love
'N' Sound. They became Regional Quartet Champions in 1973,
and International semifinalists. Lynn sings vocals with her mom
and sister in her dad's dance Band, The
Variety Pak. She currently sings Lead with Lasting Impressions.
Lynn
is the Sweet Adelines International Region #4 Education
Coordinator. She teaches classes at regional music schools, which
keeps her busy studying and planning. Lynn is also a
much-in-demand coach and trainer for choruses in Region #4 and other
regions around the country.
Lynn
credits her vast Sweet Adelines and Barbershop knowledge to her
family barbershop roots and a host of mentors, including International
Award-winning directors Jean Barford and the late Tom Gentil.
We
are pleased and proud to have Lynn as our Chorus Director. She
is a special friend to each of us, and her musicianship and spirit
inspire us all and make our Sweet Adelines experience fun-filled.
