High Desert Harmony Chorus is a non-profit, volunteer-run, women’s community chorus. We welcome all singers that identify as female or non-binary - no experience is necessary. As a chapter of Sweet Adelines International (SAI) since 2004, we are guided by Sweet Adelines’s mission of “elevating women singers worldwide through education, performance, and competition in barbershop harmony and a cappella music.”
We rehearse 6:30-9:00 on Mondays and visitors are welcome to stop in anytime! Plan to arrive by 6:15 to check in on your first visit. We meet at Holy Cross Lutheran Church, 4895 S McCarran Blvd, Reno, NV 89502, but are not associated with the church.
We are open to auditions at any time that works for you and they are designed to be stress-free. They are intended to help you figure out how you can learn music in the way best for you. We typically provide access to the sheet music and part-learning tracks after the first visit. When ready, record yourself singing with the full mix learning track, rehearsal track, or standing on the risers. Auditions with five or fewer note errors will be passed. If you have more than five errors, you are encouraged to revisit the learning material and submit another recording when you're ready.
It's OK if you can't make every rehearsal -- our attendance requirements are not overly rigid, because... well, we're a women's chorus so we get it. Life can get in the way.
