Sweet Adelines International is a highly respected worldwide organization of women singers committed to advancing the musical art form of barbershop harmony through education and performances.

The barbershop style of four-part, a cappella harmony lends itself to songs from any era – today’s ballads, popular show tunes, even jazz. Sweet Adelines’ have performed their unique style of music in a number of popular venues from professional sports stadiums, Olympic ceremonies, with major symphonies, and even on national television shows.
