About Us

Our Chorus
Durham Shores Chorus is an enthusiastic group of women singers varying in age and occupations who come together once a week to fulfill their passion for music.

Our repertoire includes a wide range of music and includes selections from broadway, 70's rock, pop, country, and even some classics. We have shared our love of music by performing within the community at a variety of venues ranging from senior's residences to a Major League Baseball game. If you or any local organization is interested in booking some musical entertainment, please give us a call!

Being part of a teaching organization, you will be continually learning through regular practices and scheduled coaching sessions when we bring in top notch coaches to prepare us for upcoming competitions.

Each year our region, which is comprised of some 1500- 1600 women, gather in Syracuse New York, to compete and enjoy a weekend of entertainment Barbershop style. Renowned judges give detailed feedback on performances which in turn allows us to focus on individual areas that need fine tuning. Competitions represent exciting opportunities to travel, perform and learn while enjoying a truly bonding experience. As a contestant at this annual event, Durham Shores has won the "Most Improved Award" twice in the past four years.

Our Director
Stephanie Jukes is enjoying her second
year as our Director. She brings to the job an enthusiasm and energy
that is infectious. Her upbeat attitude to our music and chorus enhances her considerable talent and earned her the Novice Director Award at our Region 16 Competition in Syracuse, New York in May 2006.

In November of 2006, Stephanie attained the status of Certified Director after successfully completing the Director Certification Program.

Stephanie is an award winning entreprenuer and devotes her spare time between her family, teaching at Durham College and music education.
