Sandi Wright has taken her "road show" from nearly every state in
America to Canada and Europe! Contemporary, honest and down-to-earth, she brings her lifelong love of barbershop
harmony to members of barbershop organizations (Sweet Adelines International, the Barbershop Harmony Society and Harmony Incorporated)
as well as pageant participants, youth harmony festivals, show choirs and acappella jazz choirs.
She
has a rare gift and ability to communicate with every level of musician -- the brand new singer, as well as the most seasoned
teacher. Her presentations are interesting, different and full of audio-visuals, audience participation and singing!
Sandi especially loves working with young women, "When young people hear their first overtone and get excited at locking a
chord, I re-live that same thrill with them." Sandi was active in beginning the Young Women In Harmony program, and
organized the Sweet Teens, a group of singers from the depths of the St. Louis inner city, which was sponsored by Sweet Adelines
International and Girls Incorporated.
Sandi
is a member of the American Choral Directors Association, the Missouri Choral Directors Association, Sweet Adelines International
and Harmony Incorporated. She is the director (at the master level) of the award-winning St. Louis Harmony Chorus, and
has earned two international quartet gold medals and six regional quartet championships. Sandi is a certified
competition judge in the Showmanship Category, a certified international faculty member of Sweet Adelines International and
is a busy and sought-after coach.
When
not performing, directing, judging, teaching or coaching, Sandi is the director of corporate branding for Marketing Products
Group in St. Louis. She is married to an accomplished singer, coach, chorus director and world-famous arranger, David Wright.
The Wrights have three grown children and four grandchildren. They live in a 1904 World's Fair home in the Central West End
neighborhood of St. Louis, MO.

Listen to the Johnston Trio - 1960
Janet and Stanley Johnston, Sandi's parents, were both barbershop quartet
and chorus singers. The family always sang together in harmony -- yes, even at the dinner table! Here's a photo of an actual
barbershop show where Sandi (age 11) sang with her mom and twin brothers.
