White Noise is a vocal quintet performing chiefly a cappella music. The group was formed in 1998, when this group of close friends and frequent musical collaborators decided to begin reading through some vocal music together. As busy schedules allowed, their repertoire increased, and the group felt confident to begin seeking audiences. Their first performance was in February, 2001, and they have since performed for venues and events such as the Java House in Windber, PA, the Women's Help Center "Extravaganza," a feature guest appearance with the Johnstown Symphony Orchestra in December 2001, Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America (S.P.E.B.S.Q.S.A), Altoona Curve, and various private events performing for such artists as Jane Monheit and Diana Reeves. White Noise will be featured in the Johnstown Symphony Orchestra's 2003 December performance premiering an original composition, "Child of Wonder."WHITE NOISE
