ARE YOU a
DIVA?
Do you love to sing in the shower? Do you croon in your
car? Have you ever wondered what it would be like to perform on
stage? Would you like more fun and excitement in your life? You are
about to find it!
What is Sweet Adelines International?
Sweet Adelines International is a membership organization of female
singers, who meet regularly to practice, socialize and have fun.
Active members belong to a chorus, and some members create and sing
in quartets. Sweet Adelines’ choruses and quartets perform in public
and may compete at regional and international levels.
Why would I want to join?
Singing, friendship and good times are the reasons our members join
and stay with the organization.
Sweet Adelines sing a combination of upbeat songs and ballads, a
refreshing alternative to classical music. If you are, or have been,
(or never have been) a member of a choir, Sweet Adelines will be a
lively and energetic experience for you.
If you
wish, you can get involved with performing and competitions, which
add excitement and challenge to your musical experience. Many
members find their own personal development a thrill, and their
self-confidence grows as they learn singing and skills they may
never have known before.
What kind of music do Sweet Adelines sing?
Sweet Adelines choruses and quartets perform four-part a cappella
harmony, barbershop style. This style of music lends itself to songs
from any era – today’s ballads, popular show tunes, even jazz. Sweet
Adelines have performed their unique style of music in a number of
popular venues from professional sports stadiums, Olympic
ceremonies, with major symphonies, and even on several national
television shows. A PBS special featuring Sweet Adelines
International recently aired nationally to over 80 million
households.
