The Heart of Maryland Chorus is a membership organization of female singers who meet regularly to practice, perform, socialize, and have fun. We currently have over 30 singers of all ages, all walks of life, and all parts of the Rockville and Montgomery County areas.
Performance
The main purpose of the Heart of Maryland Chorus is to sing for our community. We sing at annual shows, community events, independent and assistend living facilities, and at annual competitions. We are available to sing at your next function or event. If you're looking for a unique musical experience to liven up your event, please contact us and we will get back to you right away!
Education
In addition to sharing our music with others, another great passion of ours is learning more about the art of acapella singing. Vocal instruction is a regular part of chorus rehearsals and a very important component of the chorus experience. A couple of times a year, we will get coaching from a visiting master in the art of barbershop, where we learn many fabulous tricks of the trade.
Competition
In the spring of every year, the Heart of Maryland Chorus participates in the Region 19 chorus competition. Competitions are a special time for quartets and choruses from our region to come together to sing for each other and get some constructive feedback from a panel of judges. The winners of the regional competition in both quartet and chorus categories get to travel to International Competition, which is held in the fall in a city selected each year.

Affiliation
The Heart of Maryland Chorus is a chapter of Sweet Adelines International, a non-profit organization of approximately 21,000 members in choruses and quartets, worldwide. The Headquarters is in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
