SWEET ADELINES INTERNATIONAL

Description

SVC is a member of Sweet Adelines International (SAI), an organization of 25,000 women worldwide dedicated to advancing the musical art form of barbershop harmony through education and performances. Each year, SAI’s 600+ choruses compete in their local regions. SVC competes annually against choruses in the Harmony Heartland Region #4, an area that encompasses parts of Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia, Tennessee, and Alabama. The chorus first competed in 1988, the year SVC was founded. The chorus was named the Novice Champion and came in sixth place overall. Since that time, the chorus has never placed lower than seventh overall.

Scioto Valley Chorus is proud of our most recent accomplishments - 2022 Champions of Harmony Heartland Region 4 and 2023 International 7th Place Medalist. Other recent awards include Regional Championships in 2020, 2018, 2016, 2014, and 2012, and International Medalists in 2019, 2015, 2013, and 2011. Competition is not the only mission that Scioto Valley Chorus strives for. SVC is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization that is a strong proponent of musical education programs in Ohio and nationally. These programs include but are not limited to, Central Ohio Harmony Camp, Young Women in Harmony, and The Young Singers Foundation, which provides scholarships for vocal music students. Many of our members volunteer yearly at Harmony Camp and give back to our community and our youth. SVC organizes many fundraising events to benefit our chorus through music education and supporting our youth.
