NORTHWEST HARMONY CHORUS

Northwest Harmony is a chorus of dynamic ladies singing a capella 4-part harmony in the barbershop style - which is one of the truly American musical artforms! The chorus and its quartets perform throughout the year for private and public events.

Northwest Harmony was chartered in Vancouver by Sweet Adelines International in 1997. Our members come from our communities and love the challenge and joy of singing and performing this unique style of music.

We come from a wide range of vocal and performance experience. Our members are businesswomen, scientists, teachers, students, retirees, and homemakers.

Membership in Northwest Harmony provides friendships with other singers as well as a myriad of opportunities to learn and grow both personally and musically.

Rehearsals are Monday evenings, 7:00-9:30pm. Please check our "rehearsals" page for directions and a map.



We gladly invite women singers to come join us for a rehearsal. Guests will get the opportunity to learn more about this truly American artform. It's exciting, fun, and absolutely thrilling to ring those tight chords!

Please feel free to contact us.

ABOUT THE MUSIC

We sing four-part a capella (unaccompanied) music. Our repertoire includes great
old favorites written in the early 1900's, along with jazz standards, patriotic tunes,
exciting Broadway numbers and beautiful ballads.

We sing unaccompanied, with four voice parts:

  • Tenor, the highest part, generally is sung above the melody.
  • Lead, one of the 2 middle parts, is generally the melody and the most
    easily recognized by listeners.
  • Baritone, also a middle part, is harmony both above and below below the melody.
  • Bass, the lowest part, is harmony sung below the melody.

This wide range of voice parts offers women with high or low voices a comfortable part to sing.
