About Memphis City Sound Chorus

 

Memphis City Sound Chorus is a membership organization of female singers, who meet regularly to practice, perform, socialize, and have fun. We currently have 45 singers of all ages, all walks of life, and all parts of the Memphis area.

 

Performance


The main purpose of Memphis City Sound Chorus is to get out and sing for our community. We sing at annual shows, a number of community events, and at an annual competitions. We also perform Singing Telegrams around Valentines Day. 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 acapella 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 will get coaching from a visiting master in the art of barbershop, where we learn many fabulous tricks of the trade.

 

Competition

In the spring of every year, Memphis City Sound Chorus participates in the Region 23 chorus competition in Chattanooga, TN. 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 2011, International Competition will be held in Houston, TX.

 

Quartets

Most choruses have a number of members who form their own quartets in addition to singing with the chorus. The Memphis City Sound Chorus currently is home to 3 quartets, and we are very proud of them! Click here to visit our quartet section and learn more about them.

 

Affiliation

The Memphis City Sound 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.
