We are Sweet Adelines

Sweet Adelines International is a worldwide organization committed to Elevating women singers worldwide through education, performance, and competition in barbershop harmony and a cappella music.

We sing a cappella music in four-part barbershop style. When four voice parts simultaneously execute on time and on pitch, the chord will produce a “fifth note” called an overtone. Hearing overtone “ring” is a special kind of magic!

Our members, who are from diverse backgrounds, of all different ages and occupations, are universally connected through song. Whether you sang years ago and long to perform again, or are still the first to sign up for karaoke, we would love for you to find your place with us!

Come Sing With Us!
