The Capitol Chordsmen Chorus An Overture Hall headliner!

Surprise a Loved One Feb. 13 or 14 with a Singing Valentine from us! We'll be there in tuxes with songs, a rose, and camera! 1/25/2009

Looking for a memorable gift for a loved one as you celebrate Valentine's Day 2009?

Consider a Singing Valentine! Whether it's for a girlfriend, boyfriend, wife, husband, mother, other relative, or just someone you secretly admire, nothing tells someone you care like a Singing Valentine sung by a barbershop quartet, particularly one from Dane County's Singing Valentine people -- the Capitol Chordsmen.

We sing the songs that touch America's heart!

Quartets dressed in tuxedos again will be delivering Singing Valentines throughout the Madison area Friday, Feb. 13 and Saturday, Feb. 14.

They'll be saying "I love you" in song on your behalf - and they'll be leaving dozens of sweethearts speechless.

(Want to see what we mean? Read the item in Doug Moe's "The Talk" column in the Jan. 20, 2005, Capital Times.)

There's even a Singing Valentine dinner package for those wishing to make the day extra special.

It's all an annual event for the local chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society.

Listen for the sound of harmony in offices, factories, schools and homes throughout the metropolitan area on these two days. Wherever they appear, they'll draw a crowd -- and sometimes even a few tears from the happy recipient.
