Spring Valley Chorus Leadership

Spring Valley Chorus thrives because of the energy and style of the people who have stepped up to lead.  Here are a few of the people that make our ensemble tick:

Terri Calvert -- Management Team Coordinator

Terri joined Spring Valley Chorus in 1997 when the group was a community chorus.  She was on the first management team beginning in 1997 and served in the combined roles of marketing/public relations, membership and performance coordinator.  Her service to the chorus has been mainly in the marketing/PR and performance areas and she has served on the management team for 11 of the 14 years she has been a member of this chorus.  She is currently the longest tenured member of the chorus.  Terri is also our script writer, emcee, sound system guru and resident techie.  Terri's Spring Valley experience began with her singing Bass.  She is now a Lead, has been in two quartets and has made the big step up on the regional contest stage in a quartet and lived to tell about it.  Terri is a dual member with the Choral Aires Chorus in Elmhurst.

Anna Giallombardo -- Membership Coordinator

Anna has been a long time participant in the Barbershop Harmony Society and Sweet Adelines International. Her parents have been in the barbershop world for a very long time and that's how she was introduced into the passion at a very young age. Anna is currently 19 years old, has two older siblings and a cute poodle named Chester.  She graduated from Glenbrook South High School and

currently goes to Oakton Community College. She continues to pursue her careers in modeling and Esthetics and plans to obtain a degree in Cosmetics and Fragrance Marketing at FIT in New York City. Five words that would describe her: outgoing, charismatic, diligent, assertive and trendy. Anna is a kind-hearted person and enjoys meeting new people.

Renee Juvan -- Secretary

Renee has been a member of Sweet Adelines and Spring Valley Chorus since 2004.  She sings bass and fills in occasionally on baritone.  Renee has been a singer all her life, generally in church and school choruses and working with/directing youth choirs.  Renee was a teacher for 22 years teaching math and language arts and religion.  After she retired from teaching, she began her career as an administrative/executive assistant.  She has a wonderful husband, Joe, and a dog, Tiffany, and a cat, Mouse.  Renee also belongs to Riverport Chorus in Bristol, WI, where she serves on the Music Team as a bass section leader.  In whatever spare time is left, she likes to read (love that Kindle) and do sewing and crafts.
