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.
Where are Sweet Adelines International
choruses located?

27,000 women, all singing in English, includes choruses in most of
the fifty United States, as well as Australia, Canada,
