Northumberland Chorus is a wonderful Sisterhood, respectful and accepting of all. We welcome everyone regardless of race, religion, economic background or other differences. Our Chorus is a place where racism, hatred, judgement and prejudice are not tolerated. Come sing with us while we bring the joy of harmony to the community. Together We Stand. We sing acappella harmony in four-part barbershop style. Whether you sang years ago, or are the first to sign up for karaoke, there is a place for you on our risers to come sing with your HEART.
We are Members of Sweet Adelines International - Region 16, an organization that spans the globe connecting thousands of singers around the world in song, dedicated to preserving the unique sound of a cappella barbershop harmony, empowering our community in every area of our lives.
Northumberland Chorus was chartered on July 16, 1982

Sharon started in 2018 as our interim director, becoming our permanent director the next year. She has been involved with Sweet Adelines since 1982 joining Peterborough Chorus (now Kawartha Music Company), because her sister convinced her to try it out. She loved the sounds of the chords that were created by the four-part harmony and has beeen singing with choruses ever since. In addition to her directing reponsibilities, she sings bass in North Metro Chorus, winners of numerous Regional and six International Gold Medals, and she sings in our Nightfall Quartet.
VisionWe are a vibrant multi-generational community of women producing high quality energetic A Capella performances. We inspire, entertain and enrich our community through music and the joy of harmony.
MissionWe are a growing inclusive group of women dedicated to helping each other improve our musical abilities while sharing the joy of four-part harmony with our community.
The Northumberland Chorus loves to perform in our community.
We have performed regularly throughout the community entertaining at civic events and charitable functions,
in addition to promoting harmony and friendship among women. If you're looking for a unique musical experience for your event,
please check out our Hire Us section.
We'd love to share our music with you! Contact Us!
At our rehearsals we incorporate weekly vocal instruction to learn more about the art of a-cappella singing and performance. In the continuing quest for musical improvement, we regularly bring in regionally renowned coaches to work with the chorus, from whom we learn new vocal and visual techniques to improve our performances.
Every autumn we are inviting women who like to sing to join our rehearsals for 6 weeks to learn three Christmas songs plus a bonus song, then perform at our show on a Saturday in November in a Christmas Harmony Show. This is an opportunity to join us without long-term commitment, experience the learning process and the joy of singing in front of an audience.
Northumberland Chorus is looking for enthusiastic women who love to sing and perform in the community to join us on the risers.
Don't read music? Don't worry. We supply learning tracks for our entire repertoire so that you can learn and practice your music just about anywhere. We provide weekly vocal lessons and hire regionally renowned coaches to teach us new vocal and performance skills.
