Rhythm of the Rockies
Under the musical direction of Jo-Anne Killips
We are a chorus with a passion - a passion that keeps us coming back week after week.
We take four-part harmony to the next level by delivering fresh and exciting a cappella versions of jazz favourites, top 40 hits, Broadway classics, heartfelt love songs and of course - peppy barbershop numbers.
We love to perform and produce a variety of public and private shows throughout the year - contact us for more information on bookings.
To hone our vocal skills, we participate in weekly vocal training and compete in regional and international competitions. Rhythm of the Rockies chorus belongs to an international sisterhood of over 27,000 a cappella singers called Sweet Adelines International, "a worldwide organization of women singers committed to advancing the musical art form of barbershop harmony through education and performance".
The opportunities for friendship and camaraderie, travel and personal growth are limitless. We've grown to over 65 members and always welcome new faces on the risers.
Our vision is to continue to grow as a friendly, energetic and passionate group of performers/competitors willing to explore and demonstrate innovative and creative ideas musically and dramatically. To encourage and appeal to women of all ages, striving for excellence in the skills of modern barbershop.
