We are Sweet Adelines

What is Sweet Adelines International

In existence since 1945. Sweet Adelines International is the world's largest women's singing organization with nearly 21,000 members and counting. Our mission? Elevating women singers worldwide through education, performance and competition in barbershop harmony and a cappella music. With members across five continents, spanning nine to 90 years old, our singers transcend borders and generations as they come together to harmonize the world.


What is Barbershop


Barbershop is the heart and soul of Sweet Adelines. Often referred to as the "extreme sport" of the music world. Barbershop is a classic genre where singers perform four-part harmonies, all a cappella. What makes barbershop unique is the overtone it produces. While it is challenging, the achievement of its unique sound is amazingly rewarding.
