Jersey Harmony Chorus
A competitive, 4-part harmony, a cappella chorus
Who's Who
Our Director
Kat Britt knew she wanted to sing barbershop when she saw The Buffalo Bills in the movie "The Music Man". She joined Sweet Adelines Intl in June 1996, singing in her first chorus AND her first quartet!
Now she sings with Harmony Celebration Chorus, directs Jersey Harmony Chorus, and sings baritone in Holiday Belles Quartet. All of these groups are part of the Sweet Adelines International organization.
In 2012, Kat won Region 15's Novice Director award. In 2016 she led the chorus to a second place win in the Small Chorus division and became a Harmony 500 Director. At the 2017 competition, under Kat's direction, Jersey Harmony placed second again in the Small Chorus category, and also took home the Most Improved Chorus award.

Member of Note
We are happy to honor Cathy Cummings as our 2024 Member of Note. She has been chosen after being with us for the shortest time of any previous Jersey Harmony Chorus (JHC) recipient.
Cathy came to us with the brightest smile, the most pleasant demeanor, and the most helpful attitude. Without hesitation, she is eager to help in any capacity she can. With the loss of Anita Barry, our dear friend and bass section leader, Cathy, as a new member, adjusted to the change in bass support and leadership, working at learning the repertoire and performing her best to stay current and be there for the chorus.
Cathy currently serves as our guestbook distributor for the Membership Committee, handles Riser Boxes, is an assistant for Communications, and is an MC coordinator. She also will participate on the newly forming choreo team.
Always in good spirits, Cathy is known for her funny quips, reliability, and her jumping in for all the little chores. She is just all-around fun to know. We are happy to have her with us and are looking forward to her having a long relationship with JHC and Sweet Adelines.
