Evergreen Chorus

Sweet Adelines International Members

As Sweet Adelines members, Evergreen Chorus sings a cappella four-part harmony inspired by the uniquely American art form of barbershop harmony. We perform timeless classics, jazz and blues, show tunes and contemporary songs at community events and compete in regional and international contests. We are a non-profit organization based in Poughkeepsie, NY.
