About City of Lakes Chorus

The City of Lakes Chorus has been dazzling audiences in the Minneapolis / St. Paul metro area and around the country since 1952.  We are an award-winning Sweet Adeline chorus of approximately 100 voices with a long history of excellence. We've placed 1st in every SAI Regional competition we've competed in since 1967, and have placed as a top 10 finalist numerous times at SAI International Competitions since 1971.

Performances

The City of Lakes Chorus enjoys performing at our annual shows and competitions. We also perform at community events, and offer Singing Telegrams around Valentine's Day. If you're looking for a unique musical experience to liven up your event, please check out our Book Us section.
 

Education

Musical education helps feed our passion to perform. Vocal instruction is integrated into all of our rehearsals, and is a very important component of the chorus experience. So whether you are a novice or have been singing for years, the tools to succeed are made available to everyone. In addition to rehearsals, a few times a year we hire a master in the art of barbershop to teach us some tricks of the trade.

Competition

In the spring, City of Lakes Chorus participates in the Region 6 chorus competition. Competitions are an excellent opportunity for quartets and choruses to perform for each other, and receive feedback from the judges. The winners of the Regional competition, in both quartet and chorus categories, are invited to participate at the International Competition which is held in the fall.
