ELVERA COLLIER

Elvera has been a Sweet Adeline since 1986 and has vast experience in both quartet & chorus. Originally a member of White Spruce City Chorus, she is currently an Assistant Director and the Baritone Section Leader of Lions Gate Chorus. She has one quartet championship under her belt with a 12th place finish at International, multiple International experiences with Westcoast Harmony Chorus and 8 Top 5 International placements with Lions Gate Chorus, including their 2023 First Place Chorus win! She is a certified director and is excited to be an Associate member of Region 26 Education Faculty.

Elvera has a strong background in Piano and Music Theory and combined with many years of Sweet Adelines’ education, she has a great understanding of the barbershop style. Tuning, balance, resonance, unit sound, vocal production, and emotional performance are all strong tools in her toolbox! Her passion is to tell the story from beginning to end and take each audience member on a journey.  She also believes that sight-reading is the greatest sport around!
