NILES — Those looking to surprise their valentines with a musical gift will have a chance next month.   

Quartets from the Lighthouse Chorus, a local nonprofit a Cappella chorus, will deliver singing valentines throughout the Michiana area on Friday, Feb. 14. 

“This is one of our most enjoyable projects, because we get to deliver an unforgettable message to someone’s sweetheart, family member, special client or customer,” said Jay Wort, president of the chorus. “We have serenaded both men and women in a variety of locations, including restaurants, supermarkets, classrooms, business offices, retail shops and homes.”   

For $45, a chorus quartet will deliver two love songs, a long-stem rose and a personalized card.  Orders may be placed by calling the Valentine Hotline at (269) 471-4559 or sending an email to lighthousechorus@lighthousechorus.org. A limited number of bookings are available, so anyone interested should book early to ensure delivery, chorus officials said.

The Lighthouse Chorus gathers weekly to share their love of singing, officials said. They perform primarily in the four-part harmony of the barbershop style, and their repertoire includes everything from Broadway to gospel to doo wop.  They have performed through southwest Michigan and northwest Indiana, singing in a variety of venues.
