Boston Skyline Chorus is a diverse group of women; we come from all walks of life. What we have in common is our love of music, our joy in singing and our love of performing! We are mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts, and grandmothers. WE ARE EVERY WOMAN. Our love for our craft is obvious and infectious, and our rehearsals are wonderful opportunities to develop and improve our vocal skills as we build warm, supportive friendships. The camaraderie is the icing on the cake!  We rehearse every Tuesday night and would love to have you come and join us.

Performance

The main purpose of Boston Skyline Chorus is to get out and sing for our community. We sing at annual shows, a number of community events, and at an annual competition. 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 fill out a Performance Request Form.

Education

In addition to sharing our music with others, another great passion of ours is learning more about the art of a cappella singing. Vocal instruction is a regular part of chorus rehearsals, and a very important component of the chorus experience. Several times a year, we are coached 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, Boston Skyline Chorus participates in the Region 1 chorus competition in Springfield, MA. 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 compete in Sweet Adelines International Competition, which is held in the fall in a city selected each year.

Quartets

A Barbershop Quartet is a harmony-rich ensemble of four singers, who blend their voices in a cappella style. They create a distinctive sound through melody and chord-ringing.  Each member plays a unique role, from the lead singer to the bass, crafting melodious tunes. 

Sweet Adelines International

The Boston Skyline 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.
