Bari'd Treasure

Bari'd Treasure first came together to sing as a quartet in March 2016. As the name suggests, Bari'd Treasure is a baritone-associated quartet, as three of the members have sung as baritones during their Sweet Adelines ventures, and the fourth member has a baritone personality. Singing together has become a highly valued and cherished experience for this quartet; hence, the name Bari'd Treasure evolved.  All four of these barbershop enthusiasts have been members of the Boston Skyline Chorus (BSC) for several years.

Joyce Nishinaga (tenor) has been a tenor with BSC since 2003 and is now happily retired from the state of MA, having worked as a web application software developer.  Jill Connor (lead) is the newest Sweet Adeline and has been with BSC since 2012, switching from baritone to lead in 2018.  Jill is a dedicated fifth grade public school teacher in Arlington.  Lois Jensen (bari) is also happily retired from her role as a project manager for an area property insurance company. Lois has been a Sweet Adeline since 1980 and a member of BSC since the year 2000.  Michele Bokun, (bass) recently left her role as an occupational therapist to become a care manager for Minuteman Senior Services.  She has been a member of BSC for since 2005, switching from baritone to bass in 2015.

Wicked Harmony

Boston Skyline Chorus’ newest quartet, Wicked Harmony, came together in July 2025. We share a passion for promoting hope and sisterhood through our music while having a lot of fun!
Lead: Linda LaSalle is our most recent chorus addition, having joined in 2025, but she comes with an amazing array of musical knowledge.  In fact, she sings for a living as a board certified musical therapist.  She also plays in the New England Irish Harp Orchestra.

Bass: Janice Mottolo joined the chorus in 2012 almost by accident.  Not having sung in any organized way since high school, she was reluctant at first to join but barbershop harmony quickly drew her in!  She’s held various positions throughout the years, including visual team coordinator, membership chair and annual show chair. 

Baritone: Peg Deery is our veteran joining Liberty Belle Chorus (BSC’s previous name) in 1998.  Having sung in choral groups since high school, she went to a LBC concert and was instantly hooked!  Since then it’s been her goal to sing in a quartet and now can cross that off her bucket list.

Tenor: Risa Uchida Battis’s musical background covers the gamut - having played various instruments and sung in a number of choirs, as well as a brief training in opera singing.  Besides BSC and Wicked Harmony, she’s a member of Millennium Gospel Choir.
