Emerald City Chorus members can attest to the fact that dreams do come true!
In late 2006 we envisioned a vibrant and thoroughly motivated chorus with new goals and visions. Most of all we wanted
to have fun! As we come together each week for rehearsal, we experience wonderful camaraderie, the best possible musical education
and the exhilarating feeling of singing one of America's original art forms, barbershop harmony. Goosebumps have
been known to appear on many occasions!
November 27, 2007 - The Emerald City
Chorus currently numbers more than 30 members and has just chartered as a full-fledged chapter of Sweet
Adelines International.
Sweet
Adelines International is a worldwide organization of women singers committed to advancing the musical art form of barbershop
harmony through education and performances. This independent, nonprofit music education association is one of the world's
largest singing organizations for women. "Harmonize the World" is the organization's motto.
