Simply A Cappella is a chapter chorus of Sweet Adelines International, a worldwide, non-profit organization of singers who further the musical form of barbershop harmony through education and performances.
Chartering in 1992 as Fiesta Chorus, we changed our name in 2011 to Southwest Vocal Project, and in 2016, the name Simply A Cappella was chosen to better reflect who we are and what we do As Simply A Cappella, we have continued to thrive, sharing our love of barbershop harmony and each other. We also enjoy competing in the annual Region 21 competition, winning the First Place Small Chorus, Most Improved Chorus, and Fourth Place overall Chorus in 2019.
