Lauren Lindeman, Music Judge
Chorus Medalist and Quartet Champion

Lauren started her barbershop career in a small chorus in her college town in 1970.  After graduating from university in 1972, she moved back home and, one year later, found the Village Vocal Chords of Harmony, Inc. in July of 1973.  It took only a few months for her to begin singing baritone in a quartet and by 1977, she won a quartet championship with The Villagers.  Since then, she has won 17 gold medals with her chorus, The Village Vocal Chords, and quartet gold medals with Voices in 2002 and U4X in 2008.

Lauren joined Harmony, Inc.’s judging program at its inception, serving on the committee that started the program in 1977.  In 1984 she was certified in the Sound Category in the first group of Harmony, Inc. judges.  In 1992 when The BHS changed its judging categories, she went from the Sound Category to the new Music Category, and served as the Music Category Director for 10 years.  Lauren remains active in the judging program serving as the Training Coordinator for the program. She also stays active in the Music Category and has served on panels for LABBS and for BHS in recent years.

Lauren is an experienced chorus and quartet coach, who has worked with many of Harmony, Inc.’s medalist choruses and quartets.

When not coaching, judging or singing, Lauren spends her retirement in Yorkville, IL with her friend Lynn and their dog Sadie.
