About Us

Get to know us a little better! Check out our music, our choruses and our community of singers.

Why I Sing

We conducted a survey of Sweet Adelines around the world to find out what keeps them ringing chords. This is... Why I (WE) Sing!

Why I Sing

In 2019, Sweet Adelines members shared what keeps them ringing chords...why they sing! We will be sharing responses to Facebook, Instagram and this dedicated webpage on a weekly basis through October 2020. Select the buttons below to read testimonials from Sweet Adelines around the world.

Notes of Gratitude: Thank you to the Historical and Archival Task Force for distributing the 2019 survey and to Lisa Greenough for compiling the results — you have inspired us all!
