UW Concert Choir to deliver singing Valentines throughout city

By: Amanda Hoffstrom /The Daily Cardinal  - February 12, 2008




UW-Madison students and community members can send singing Valentines to friends, family or significant others performed by the UW-Madison Concert Choir on Valentine’s Day.

Beverly Taylor, a UW-Madison music professor and the Concert Choir conductor, said in an e-mail the choir has sung Valentines around Madison for about five or six years.

The 55-person choir will split into quartets with soprano, alto, tenor and bass singers to sing one of four songs.

The choir will perform renditions of the Beatles’ “When I’m 64,” Gershwin’s “‘S Wonderful,” “My True Love Hath My Heart” and “Annie Laurie.”

Taylor said the songs offer a mixture of friendship and sentiment and are about two to three minutes long.

The choir will perform songs door-to-door and via telephone.

In-person Valentines are $19 for students and $25 for non-students, and Phone Valentines are $10 for students and $12 for non-students. Profits will be used to help pay for local, national and international performance tours.

Singing requests should be ordered by 6 p.m. on Feb. 13. Anyone interested should e-mail the recipient’s name, address, telephone number and directions to their house from campus to UWvalentine@gmail.com. The buyer’s name, phone number, song choice and a delivery time between 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. should also be included.

“It’s a great idea for not only friendship and love, but as thank yous or I’m-thinking-of-yous to relatives, neighbors, etc. What nicer way to make your grandmother cry?” Taylor said.
