Central NY’s Cutest Valentine’s Tradition Is Back: Singing Valentines

If you’re looking for a Valentine’s Day gift that goes way beyond chocolates from the drugstore aisle or a last-minute stuffed bear… this might be the most wholesome, unexpected, and romantic thing happening in Central New York.

The Mohawk Valley Chapter of the international Barbershop Harmony Society is bringing back its beloved Singing Valentines program, and yes, it’s exactly as adorable as it sounds.

A Valentine’s Surprise They’ll Never Forget

From Thursday, February 12 through Saturday, February 14, you can hire a live barbershop quartet or small chorus to show up and sing Valentine’s Day-themed songs for your special someone, in classic, a cappella, barbershop style.

Performers are members of the Mohawk Valley Chapter’s New Horizons Chorus, under the direction of Don Drake and Chaz Zelows, and they specialize in turning ordinary moments into unforgettable memories.

Honestly? Mission accomplished already.

They’ll Deliver the Love Just About Anywhere

One of the coolest parts of this program: the singers will come to wherever your special someone is. That includes:

• Homes

• Senior living facilities

• Veterans centers

• Workplaces

• Restaurants

• Hospitals

• Schools

Basically, if your Valentine exists somewhere in the Mohawk Valley… they can probably be serenaded there.

What You Get for $50

For $50, the Singing Valentine package includes:

• A live performance

• At least two “sweetheart” songs

• A personalized greeting card

• A flower bouquet

• A box of chocolates

That’s a whole Valentine’s experience wrapped into one surprise, and way more memorable than a reservation confirmation email.
