About Sounds of the Valley Chorus

Sounds of the Valley Chorus is a membership organization of female singers, who meet regularly to practice, perform, socialize, and have fun. We currently have 15 singers from various walks of life, and parts of the greater Chico area and surrounding counties. Originally chartered in 1974 as Chico Sweet Adelines, our chorus was renamed to Sounds of the Valley Chorus in 1994.  Celebrating 50 years, we have proudly carried the tradition as Chico's Original Women's Barbershop Chorus.

 


 

Performance

The main purpose of Sounds of the Valley Chorus is to get out and sing for our community. We sing at our chorus shows,  many community events, business and social functions, and at 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, another great passion of ours is learning more about the art of a cappella 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 are coached by a visiting master in the art of barbershop, where we learn many fabulous tricks of the trade. We also attend area schools and Region 12 Adventures in Music (AIM) weekend workshops to learn more about our craft and renew friendships with other singers in the region.

 

CompetitionIn the spring of every year, Sounds of the Valley Chorus participates in the Region 12 chorus competition.  The 2024 competition will be held in Sparks, NV. 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 a panel of judges. The winners of the regional competition in both quartet and chorus categories get to travel to International Competition, which is held in the fall in a city selected each year. In 2024 the International Competition will be held in Kansas City, Missouri.  Click here to learn more.
