Voices United Chorus is a women's singing organization that meets regularly to practice, perform, socialize, and have fun. We currently have about 30 singers of all ages, all walks of life, and all parts of the Central Valley area.
Voices United Chorus is member of Sweet Adelines International, an amazing group of real women, singing real harmony, and having real fun today! Each week, Sweet Adelines International encourages women all over the world to reach their full singing potential. There are unlimited training and educational opportunities as well as spectacular performance and entertainment possibilities.
Voices United Chorus is an extraordinary group of women who meet weekly to rehearse and learn to perform a cappella music as a group. The music we make together is sung in four-part harmony and is a challenging and rewarding pursuit.
Join in the fun, the music, and the friendship!

If you're looking for a unique musical experience to liven up your event, please contact our performance coodinator.
EDUCATION
In addition to sharing our music with others, another great passion of ours is learning more about the art of a capella 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, Voices United Chorus participates in the Region 11 chorus competition in Oxnard, CA. 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.
QUARTETS
Most choruses have a number of members who form their own vocal quartets in addition to singing with the chorus.
AFFILIATION
Voices United Chorus is a chapter of Sweet Adelines, International, a non-profit organization of approximately 30,000 members in choruses and quartets, worldwide. The Sweet Adelines International headquarter office is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
