In the fall of 2000, four friends from Verdugo Hills Chorus got together to form Bristol Fashion quartet. Their compact blend of voices is due in no small part to their love of harmony and their dedication to the little things that make up a quality quartet. Finding four members who are all five feet tall has finally paid off...Bristol Fashion experiences "surround sound!" They are available to perform a variety of music for all types of occasions.


  Roberta Rosenberg, tenor, has been a member of Sweet Adelines since 1980. Before joining Verdugo Hills Chorus in 1989, she was the director of the Canyon Country Chapter and then associate director of San Fernando Chapter. She met her husband Alan while teaching junior high school music. They have two grown daughters. Roberta is the office manager of her husband's tax business - when she isn't busy with her favorite hobby! She just loves to sing and harmonize with one and all.

  Patti Rich Loitz, lead, joined Sweet Adelines in 1974, when she was a member of the Teacher Corps in El Paso, Texas. Since returning home to Los Angeles in 1979, she has been a member of Verdugo Hills Chorus where she serves on the Music Staff. Her many talents have also earned her a spot on the front row. She is the vocal music director at Field Elementary School in Pasadena, and the mother of two busy teenagers. She and husband Bill also share their 1908 Craftsman home with 13 pets.

  Nancy Branam, baritone, joined San Fernando Valley Chapter in 1975 and has been an extremely involved member of Verdugo Hills Chorus since 1980, holding practically every leadership position. She and husband Ken run a theatrical rigging business, which enabled them to tour with Barry Manilow, Michael Jackson and Julio Iglesias. She and Ken love to spoil their 11 grandchildren (eight of whom are boys!). They live with a very demanding calico cat who is banished to the bedroom during quartet rehearsals due to super-friendly feline advances!

  Carol Stromsoe, bass, has been a Sweet Adeline since 1982, first with the Arcadia-Foothill Cities Chorus and currently a member of Verdugo Hills Chorus. She's a converted bari and loves those low notes. Carol has found that working in a mid-sized CPA firm has some drawbacks, especially during tax season, but where there's a will to sing - there's a way. She is married to Gil, a CPA, and is the mother of two grown children.
