Cynthia Tucker is the much loved and respected Musical Director since Somerset Hills Chorus began. At 85 years old, she is possibly one of the oldest directors in all of Sweet Adelines International. The chorus members are proud of the fact that Cynthia has guided them for more than 23 years. Under her direction the chorus has achieved several awards in the small chorus category at regional competition gaining fifth place overall on three occasions which thrilled Cynthia even more! She has also tasted success of her own with various quartets representing the region four times at international level .
Cynthia has always given her time to the chorus both generously and freely. Her home has always been open for coaching, both individuals and sections, giving many hours of extra time, with Bob, her husband, at her side always as her fifth ear and tea maker. She set a high standard from the start and never wavered from it, yet is still able to be a friend and be “one of the girls”. Truly an amazing role model.
Cynthia is the proof that there is still so much that is possible for the young-at-heart. Women like her are definitely great ambassadors for Sweet Adelines International.
