Holiday Singing 2024.
We held a 4 week guest program entitled "Light One Candle" aimed at bring light and love to all during the darkest time of the year.  It culminated in a community concert at Bombyx where we and our 17 guests sang to an audience of over 160 people.  Many of our guests joined us for a holiday performance at Rockridge Retirement Community as well.  We also had the privilege of singing for a holiday party at the Springfield Sheraton, the Granby Senior Center as well as heralding the holiday season with cocoa and caroling at Pause & Pivot Farm

October & November 2024

Heart of the Valley was proud to be part of so many community events.

In July our Director flew off to Tulsa OK to the Directors' and Visual Leaders' Conference where she teamed up with Merrimack Valley's Directors for a weekend of fun and learning.

We sang on the farm for a picnic crowd at Pause & Pivot, gave a benefit concert at the United Church of Conway to raise over $500 as well as baskets of food donations for the food pantry, and enjoyed tuning in for back porch rehearsals




​In May 2024, we performed on the stage at Symphony Hall in Springfield with many other choruses and quartets from North Atlantic Region 1 Sweet Adelines.

Our very own, Valley Blend Quartet,  received the Novice Quartet  Award.



​April 2024 - We hosted a community performance to help raise funds for
It Takes a Village. 7 performance groups came together to perform for a standing-room-only crowd at Bombyx Center for Arts and Equity.

Bubbling Over

We 'bubble' at all of our rehearsals - literally and figuratively.  Bubbling (a lip and vocal warm up that helps us resonate sound) gives you a joyful tingling feeling.❤️
