Seattle Shores Chorus invites local women to barbershop singing workshops

Seattle Shores

Seattle Shores Chorus invites women of all ages to participate in a series of free singing workshops in Shoreline starting Tuesday, May 15. Participants will have a chance to join Seattle Shores in performing at the opening of the Special Olympics in Seattle on July 1!

This is a great way to learn more about Sweet Adelines barbershop singing in an inclusive, supportive environment. No experience is necessary! Seattle Shores Director Bonnie Jeanne Massey will place each guest in the vocal part best suited for her voice. Sheet music will be provided, but ability to read music is not a requirement.

After just a few weeks of rehearsal, participants will be singing beautiful a cappella four-part harmony — and having fun doing it.

Guests are welcome to attend rehearsals any Tuesday — but come soon if you want to secure a spot in the Special Olympics event. Seattle Shores will be part of a 2,018-voice choir performing on Sunday, July 1 at Husky Stadium in Seattle. Participants must attend a rehearsal on June 30 and pay a $10 fee to cover the cost of apparel and music. Singer Ann Wilson of Heart and dance crew Massive Monkees are also set to perform.

Numerous Shoreline residents are members of Seattle Shores Chorus, which was founded 65 years ago as the first Sweet Adelines chorus in the Seattle area.

Tuesdays starting May 15, 6:00 to 7:30 p.m.
Shoreline Unitarian Universalist Church
14724 1st Ave NE, Shoreline 98155
