About Skyline Harmony Chorus

Skyline Harmony Chorus is a membership organization of female singers, who meet regularly to practice, perform, socialize, and have fun. We have singers of all ages, all walks of life, and all parts of the greater Charlottesville area including Albemlarle, Culpeper, Orange, Louisa and Nelson Counties.


Performance

The main purpose of Skyline Harmony Chorus is to get out and sing for our community. We sing at annual shows, a number of community events, and at an annual regional competition.  We are available to sing at your next function or event. If you're looking for a unique musical experience to liven up your event, please check out our Hire Us section.


Education

In addition to sharing our music with others, a great passion of ours is learning more about the art of a capella singing. Vocal instruction is a regular part of chorus rehearsals, and a very important component of the chorus experience. A couple of times a year, we receive coaching from a visiting master in the art of barbershop, where we learn many fabulous tricks of the trade.  We also provide individual vocal instruction which is invaluable to any singer who wants to be a better singer. 


CompetitionIn the spring of every year, Skyline Harmony Chorus participates in the Region 14 chorus competition in Winston-Salem, NC. Competitions are a special time for quartets and choruses from our region to come together to sing for each other, and get some constructive feedback from an international panel of judges. The winners of the regional competition in both quartet and chorus categories travel to the SAI International Competition, which is held in the fall. In 2010, International Competition was held in Seattle, WA. Click here to learn more.

Quartets

Most choruses have a number of members who form their own vocal quartets in addition to singing with the chorus. A quartet can be formed with performance in mind or just to gain experience in harmony.  Quarteting is a wonderful component of our style of singing & not to be missed!

 

Affiliation

Skyline Harmony Chorus is a chapter of Sweet Adelines, International, a non-profit organization of approximately 30,000 members in choruses and quartets, worldwide. The Headquarters is in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
