About Riverside Chorus

Chartered in Elgin, Illinois, the Riverside Chorus is a group of women who meet regularly to sing four-part, a cappella harmony barbershop style music, under the direction of Nicole Chapen. Members range in age from teenagers to senior citizens from all backgrounds and walks of life.

We are a chapter of Sweet Adelines International, a non-profit, world-wide corporation of women singers, committed to advancing the musical art form of barbershop harmony through education and performance. Our Chorus chartered in September 1998 and participated in its first regional competition in the spring of 1999.

Throughout the year, we participate in a number of events. The two highlights of our year are participation in the Lake Michigan Region 3 competition every spring and our show in the Fall. We also have other singing engagements throughout the year including singing valentines in February and Christmas caroling in December.

Our standing goals are to bring in new members, create more opportunities to perform, and bring our love of four-part a cappella music to the community.

We invite you to join Riverside Chorus for an evening of singing, friendship and fun at rehearsal every Tuesday from 7:00 pm to 9:30 pm at

Evangelical Covenant Church
1565 Larkin Ave
Elgin, Illinois
( next to Larkin High School)
