About Us
History
Accolade are Vicki Sutton (bass),
Wendy Scandurra (tenor), Vicki Dwyer (lead) and Amanda Andrews (baritone). They
have been singing together since March 2003. Prior to forming as Accolade, three
of its members sang in SeaChange Quartet. When their former bass left the group
Vicki Sutton (formerly lead) reluctantly switched parts to sing bass and Vicki
Dwyer stepped in to sing lead. In June, 2004 they competed together for the
first time, winning the Australian National Sweet Adelines' Quartet Competition
with Australia's highest quartet score to that date.
Accolade represented Australia during October 2004 at the Sweet Adelines
International Convention in Indianapolis, USA - along with quartets from all
over the world.
Accolade represented Australia during October 2006 at the Sweet Adelines
International Convention in Las Vegas having won the
National Title, again in May 2006 and again with a new record high score
for the Australian Region!
Vicki, Amanda and Vicki are members of
Circular Keys Chorus based in Castle Hill, NSW.
