About Island Hills Chorus

Island Hills Chorus is a active, invigorating organization of female singers, meeting regularly to rehearse, harmonize, develop, perform, perfect, socialize, sing, and just have fun! We currently have over 50 singers of all ages, from all walks of life, and from all parts of the Long Island - from Queens to Riverhead!

Performance

Island Hills Chorus loves to perform!!! We create and perform an annual show, sing at community events, libraries, and private parties, and we perform at our Sweet Adelines International-Region 15 annual competition. We perform Singing Telegrams for Valentines Day and Mother's Day and 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, we are passionate  about learning and practicing the art of a capella singing. Vocal instruction is a regular part of chorus rehearsals and a very important component of the chorus experience. In addition to instruction by our multi-talented director, we have the good fortune to have specialized coaching in areas such as vocal production, expression, and choreography from visiting masters in the art of barbershop. We love learning more about our art!

Competition                         
Each spring, Island Hills Chorus participates in the Region 15 chorus competition in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 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 an International Competition, which is held in the fall in a different city, selected each year. In 2011, International Competition will be held in Houston, Texas. Click here to learn more.
