Singing Valentines is the name for a fundraising program that is popular with barbershop choruses in the U.S., Canada and Australia.
Rather, quartets usually deliver a canned package of one or two barbershop songs with a personalized card and either roses or chocolates.
Often, deliveries to assisted living facilities or nursing homes can be scheduled for the weekend.
Since 2011, on every Feb. 14, Canadian bilingual magazine La Scena Musicale / The Music Scene[6] offers an annual Singing Valentines, a unique romantic one-to-one experience delivered by trained solo opera singers at the request of the sender to his or her loved one.
This Valentine's Day gift is now done by telephone, personalized recorded video or other video and audio platforms such as Zoom and Facetime; different genres are performed, ranging from opera arias to standard love songs to musicals and art songs.
