Our ChorusChartered in Elgin, Illinois, the Riverside Chorus is a group of women who meet regularly to sing four-part, a capella harmony barbershop style music. Members range in age from teenagers to senior citizens from all backgrounds and walks of life. We are a member 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 capella music to the community. Our sincere appreciation to the City of Elgin and the Cultural
Arts Commission for their generous support. |
