A native of Suffern, NY, Kim Palermo-Bogardus was introduced to Barbershop while earning her Bachelor of Music degree at Bowling GreenStateUniversity in Ohio. After college graduation, Kim sang lead and then baritone with the Toledo Seaway Chorus in Region 17. She competed with the chorus at International in 1980 and 1982. Family responsibilities forced her to give up her Sweet Adeline membership until her children were off to college. Finally, in 2004, the nest was empty. Kim joined the Long Island Sound chorus. Since it had been more than a few years that she gave up barbershop, she has taken advantage of the educational programs offered by SAI. She is now a Certified Director, she is exploring the Music Arrangers Program, and has become quite proficient in Finale.
She has served the Long Island Sound Chorus as Tenor Section Leader, Assistant Director, and now as Management Team Coordinator. She also sings Tenor with the Long Island Express Quartet. In addition to her Sweet Adeline activities, Kim teaches Physics and Chemistry at SoutholdHigh School and is the organist and Director of Music at the First Presbyterian Church in Southold.
The Long Island Sound Chorus is proud to play an important role in promoting the Arts through its unique style of four-part harmony in our community. We have the privilege, through education and performance, to enhance the lives of young and old alike.
