Heart of Gold

dream

Dear Friends,

Not long ago, returning to the great hobby of singing four-part a cappella harmony in the barbershop style seemed like only a dream. And now, after years of tenacity, resilience, and hard work, the Harborlites Chorus is still strong and sharing the gift of song – a dream realized.

Yes, after six long years, Harborlites was finally able to return to the international stage, competing in Kansas City, Missouri on November 2, 2024. The thrill of once again singing for and with the entire Sweet Adelines International organization is an incomparable experience. And singing as the last contestant in the chorus finals meant we were able to share our message with a large audience – a visionary message of hope and faith that each of us is a force for good in this world. Our performance in Kansas City earned a high score and a fourth place medal!

We invite you now to be “part of the dream of the world that we can make” through music. With the help of benefactors like you, we are able to share the American art form of barbershop harmony. In February, the Harborlites Chorus will again engage hundreds of high school singers at our annual Diva Day event, where students learn, hone, and perform barbershop music. We hope to increase our presence in the community with public performances and hope to share our music with you in the upcoming year with the return of our annual show. In the meantime, our semi-finals and finals sets from the recent international contest will be viewable this month on YouTube as well as on our website.

We are ever-grateful to have the opportunity to create wonderful music and share our harmony and dreams with the world. We thank you for supporting us in that journey, and we humbly ask you to consider continuing your support by making a tax-deductible donation to the Harborlites Chorus.
In this season of thanksgiving, we give you our sincere gratitude.
