The Chesapeake Harmony Chorus | Meet our Director!

The Women of CHC

Our Director, Tancey Bosna

Tancey Bosna has music in her blood. She admits to starting out on the “Ted Mack Amateur Hour” as a child and she’s been singing ever since. Her affiliation with Sweet Adelines began in the 60's when she and three sisters formed a barbershop harmony quartet called the “Busy Bees.”

Although the director of Chesapeake Harmony Chorus for just over three years, under her astute guidance and immeasurable talent and at their very first competition together, the chorus won the coveted "Most Improved" award, bettering their previous score by 93 points! Two years later they achieved their next goal medaling as Third Place Division A Chorus in Region 19. This dedicated woman drives two hours one way from Philadelphia to Millersville for weekly Wednesday night rehearsals in Baldwin Hall.

Ms. Bosna has performed with several regional award winning quartets and competed on the International stage. She has recently launched her newest career with a solo performance during the Chesapeake Harmony's 5th Annual Tea and Harmony in September 2008.

I love my dog, and riding my motorcycle".
