NEWS and ANNOUNCEMENTS

Harriette Walters, Master Director
Greater Nassau Chorus

Harriette Walters joined The Greater Nassau Chorus (GNC) singing baritone in 1977. Having grown up in a musical environment, with minimal formal musical training, her natural abilities became apparent early in her Sweet Adelines career. Shortly after joining GNC she was appointed Assistant Director, and quickly emerged as a musical leader. In 1984 when GNC was in search of a new director, Harriette became the obvious choice. Since that time, Harriette has not only directed the chorus musically, but has led GNC toward its vision of excellence. Since Harriette’s directorial debut in 1984, GNC has earned a medal each year in the Greater New York Region's annual competition. Winning first place at the regional level earns each region's chorus the privilege of competing at the International level, which GNC has achieved seven times under Harriette's direction. In October 2005, GNC placed 10th overall at the 59th Annual Sweet Adelines International Competition in Detroit, Michigan. And, most recently, in October 2007, GNC placed 7th at the 61st Annual International Competition in Calgary, Canada.

As a certified faculty member of Sweet Adelines International (
http://www.sweetadelineintl.org/walters.cfm), and the Greater New York Region’s Education Coordinator, when Harriette is not working with GNC, she is traveling throughout the country “coaching” other Sweet Adeline choruses and quartets. She teaches the barbershop craft at regional educational seminars and she works with the Young Women in Harmony singers at local schools. Harriette’s expertise is in demand and her calendar is always full. Did we mention that she holds a management position at Liberty Mutual Insurance Company?
