Rounding up the “Around the Globe” concert in Las Vegas together with hosting chorus Christchurch City Chorus from New Zealand and featured quartets last night, singing “How we sang” together with the audience, puts this international competition in perspective.
“The summer of 1945 was a time to appreciate being alive. Many longed for the older, gentler days, and one of the things held dearest was music.” This was the time and reason why Sweet Adelines International started.
Today Sweet Adelines International is a highly respected worldwide organization of women singers committed to advancing the musical art form of barbershop harmony through education, competition and performance. This independent, nonprofit music education association is one of the world’s largest singing organizations for women, boasting 23,000 members!
Members extend over five continents and belong to more than 500 choruses and 1,200 quartets. Sweet Adelines choruses and quartets sing exciting a cappella, four-part harmony music, barbershop style.
1997 the nordics got their own region Nordic Light Region – Sweet Adelines International Region #32 with today 18 choruses of which one is prospective, as well as 28 registered quartets, a total of 900 barbershop singers.
Rönninge Show Chorus (RSC) “2014 International Chorus Champions, Sweet Adelines International”, was founded 1983 in Sweden and has today over 155 members in the age range of 18-80.
This is the 10th international competition for RSC, and together with Pearls of the Sound, and five quartets Milli Blink, VocalityQuartet, MACC Quartet, Twist Quartet and SVEA, we are now representing region #32 in the internationals in Las Vegas.
Let’s continue to harmonize the world. Thank you Sweet Adelines International, Christchurch City Chorus and all singers – past, current and future – around the globe.
Let’s always WIN [focus on What is Important Now 😉 ] !
