Quartets deliver singing valentines

Candy tastes dandy and flowers smell swell, but a love song sung to your sweetheart will create a lifetime memory.

Surprise your special someone this Valentine's Day with a men's quartet singing an old-fashioned love song just to him or her.

On Tuesday, Feb. 14, Chorus of DuPage barbershop quartets will fan out across Chicago's Western suburbs delivering Singing Valentines to special sweethearts and loved ones. Love songs will ring out in offices, homes, restaurants, schools and hospitals throughout the area.

The singing often draws a crowd of onlookers, many smiles and even some tears of joy. Men and woman alike are on the receiving end with moving results.

A standard Singing Valentine costs $50 and premium - for a specific window of time - is $75. Both include two songs sung in four-part barbershop harmony, a card and a rose delivered to your valentine.

If your loved one or friend lives too far away for an in-person delivery, but can be reached by phone, send them a Ringing Valentine over the phone, which is $25.

Singing Valentines and Ringing Valentines may be ordered from the Chorus of DuPage online at chorusofdupage.com/valentines or by telephone at (630) 737-9199.
