About Magic of Manatee       

Magic of Manatee is a membership organization of female singers who meet regularly to practice, perform, socialize, and have fun. We currently have over forty-five singers of all ages and all walks of life.

Performance

Magic of Manatee is a friendly, upbeat, community-oriented chorus.  Our two main fundraisers are a Christmas show in early December and an annual show the second Saturday in February. 

We are also available to entertain at your next function.  If you're looking for a unique musical experience to liven up your event, please check out our Hire Us section.

Education

In addition to sharing our music with others, another great passion of ours is learning more about the art of a capella singing. Vocal instruction is a regular part of chorus rehearsals and a very important component of the chorus experience.  A couple of times a year, we will be coached by a visiting master in the art of barbershop and from whom we learn many fabulous "tricks of the trade."

CompetitionIn the spring of the year Magic of Manatee participates in the Region 9 chorus competition.  Competitions are a special time for quartets and choruses from our region to come together to sing for each other and get some constructive feedback from a panel of judges. The winners of the regional competition, in both quartet and chorus categories, travel to International Competition, which is held in the fall in a city selected each year.  Click here to learn more.

Quartets

Most choruses have a number of members who form their own vocal quartets in addition to singing with the chorus. Magic of Manatee currently is home to a number of wonderful quartets, and we are very proud of them! Click here to see our quartet section to learn more about them.
