Riverport Chorus Directors

Directing Team

Riverport's frontline director is Cathie Zimmerman. Cathie first sang barbershop harmony in a quartet in high school, continuing her musical edification by majoring in voice at Northern Illinois University. The following 12 years were spent on the musical theatre stage, honing her skills in both dance and voice. Cathie's Sweet Adeline years have been filled with constant quartetting activity. She has taken home six regional championship wins, most recently with Contagious, who also captured 7th Place at international competition in 2002 and 2003. She is a Master Director, and is an active member on the Region 22 Faculty, teaching classes focused on quartet singing as well as coaching quartets and choruses and giving individual voice lessons. She resides in Greenfield, Wisconsin, with her wonderful husband Bob, two children, a kitten, and a Basset Hound named "Phoebe".

Riverport's newest addition to the directing team is Susan Musgrave. She joined Sweet Adelines as a member of the Forked River Chorus in 1979, serving as an assistant director and interim director, as well as a baritone section leader in the years since then. In her non-Sweet Adeline life, Susan is an elementary school teacher at St. John's Lutheran School in Burlington. She also teaches middle school students Language Arts, Music, Art and Science. She is very involved in her church, where she sings in two choirs and teaches a weekly Bible study class.
