Take a familiar melody, blend in three parts of close harmony, add innovative choreography and glittering costumes. Multiply by 100+ energetic women who are passionate about performing four-part harmony, barbershop-style, and what do you get? The incomparable Scottsdale Chorus, four-time Sweet Adelines International Champions!
Scottsdale is our chorus home, but our members are from all over the state of Arizona and farther. Although we have a wide range of ages and a variety of backgrounds and lifestyles, we all share a bond through our love of music in performance and competition. Our goal is to draw others to share our love of harmony and our joy of singing.
