Lana Levine
Lana Levine came to Christina Rovics at the recommendation of a mutual friend in Bethel. In the 1960’s Lana came to New York from New Haven, Indiana to, hopefully, have a career on Broadway. Her singing talent and vivacious energy landed her a prime spot as the lead singer in the hit group, The Serendipity Singers, an American folk group originally from the University of Colorado that had several major hits and TV appearances in the sixties. Lana was one of the two women who sang with them.She played the ingenue opposite Katharine Hepburn in the National Company of "Coco" and she had played two parts in the Broadway production of "Play It Again, Sam" and the lead in the off-Broadway production of "How To Steal an Election." She was in several TV commericals, some TV shows in small parts, and Industrial shows.
Life and career took her away from singing and acting for some decades but her passion for singing remained. Now, senior citizen Lana is finding her voice once again with renewed confidence and exploring her musical potential. Her main focus in the studio is jazz singing but she recently joined the Adesso Choir, an eight to ten member group that specializes in performing new music for women’s voices.
You can hear and see Lana Levine singing with The Serendipity Singers in its 1967 performance of I Know My Rider in a live TV performance. This American folk group, similar in style to The New Christy Mintrels sang at the Bitter End in Greenwich Village, ABC's Hootenanny television series, and recorded on Philips records and United Artists.
