Claire Domenick

Master Director

 

Master Director Claire Domenick has led Greater Harrisburg Chorus since 1999. 

​

Claire’s combination of musical excellence and a warm and fun-loving style have brought Greater Harrisburg Chorus an impressive array of honors, including the championship of the World Choir Games in 2012, six regional Sweet Adelines championships, the silver medal in the 2019 Sweet Adelines Harmony Classic, and numerous top-20 placements in Sweet Adelines International competitions. 

​

In Greater Harrisburg's most recent competition, the chorus captured a pair of Region 19 championship gold medals, winning the overall chorus contest and the AA midsize chorus division. Greater Harrisburg qualified for the Super Bowl of women's barbershop music, Sweet Adelines International competition, which will be held in October 2024 in Kansas City, Mo.

 

For Claire, music has always been a family affair. She was drawn to barbershop harmony at a young age, performing with her sisters in a family quartet, The Busy Bees. The quartet appeared on shows all over the East Coast and even on TV’s “Ted Mack Amateur Hour.”
