Julia Beadle has been an integral part of the London Chorus for over two decades, and her connection to music runs deep. Inspired by her mother, Beulah Hardy, a former Tenor with the London Chorus and a music teacher, Julia’s love for harmony was nurtured from a young age.
Introduced to Sweet Adelines by her mother, Julia started her singing journey as a Tenor, before finding her true home as a Lead. She’s performed in several renowned quartets, including Zenith, North Star, and Firefly. Her most notable achievement came in 1996 when her quartet, Innovation, placed 6th at the International Competition—a highlight in a stellar career. She earned her Master Director title in 2000, a testament to her talent and dedication.
For over 20 years, Julia has led the London Chorus as its director, guiding us through multiple International competitions, including in Portland (2001), Indianapolis (2004), Houston (2010), Honolulu (2013), Las Vegas (2016), St. Louis (2018), and Louisville (2023). Under her leadership, in 2024, we became the Region 2 Chorus Champions and 1st Place Midsize Chorus, adding to our 2022 title as Midsize Chorus Regional Champions.
Beyond her musical accomplishments, Julia is a proud mother of three and grandmother of five. Her family, alongside her chorus, are her biggest fans—a reflection of her unwavering commitment both on and off the stage.
