A Cappella PSA

In college I sang a cappella with the women of Ladies in Red, the a cappella group of the Beta Chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota. We graduated, and immediately were sick over how much we missed singing together. We got the band back together, so to speak, and are working on filling out our repertoire before beginning our grand tour of Chicago-area nursing homes, which was a favorite philanthropic pastime while at Northwestern. Bringing a cappella to the elderly masses, you might say. In the meantime we're performing for our friends in my dining room.

What I'm saying is, please like us. I posted recordings of all the songs we've done so far, which are (click on the artists' name to hear their original version):

Happy Ending by Mika (arranged and soloist Brittany Petersen)
Hide & Seek by Imogen Heap (arr. Renee Altergott)
Put Your Head on My Shoulder (arr. Megan Mitterer, soloist Elizabeth Bourgart)
Walking on Broken Glass by Annie Lennox (arr. and soloist Megan Mitterer)
Samson by Regina Spektor (arr. Laura Sloman, soloist Brittany Petersen)
Wake Up by Sliimy (arr. Renee Altergott, soloist Megan Mitterer)
When Sunset Burns and Dies, written and arranged by Renee Altergott

Music has played a big role in my life -- to the point that I got a tattoo celebrating it -- and I'm so grateful to have an outlet to continue to perform, and the wonderful friends and lifelong sisters to share it with.
