Crescent City Sound Chorus is a Section 504(c)(3) non-profit organization that has been performing in the New Orleans area for many years.
We sing exciting a cappella, four-part harmony, with an emphasis on barbershop style. As part of the Sweet Adelines International organization, we compete each year at our regional competition in Houston, Texas. We are evaluated in various performance categories and consistently win awards for our presentations.
Our chorus, our small performance group, and our quartets perform throughout the area approximately 12-14 times a year. While our performances generally focus on the New Orleans area, our strong music programs have attracted members from all over the area including, Houma, Baton Rouge, Slidell, Bay St. Louis, and even as far as Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Our members are of all ages and come from all walks of life to share their voices and enthusiasm for the arts.
We also teach the love of music in various formats, including schools. We support several charitable organizations, such as the American Heart Association and Cancer Crusaders, through volunteer work and contributions. The donations made to our chorus enable us to continue our work in the community and improve our musical performances. Donations provide us with additional music, coaching on vocal and performance techniques, and assistance with costs such as risers, sound equipment, and performance production expenses.
Barbershop harmony is an American art form that originated in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1945. Sweet Adelines International is a highly respected worldwide organization of women singers committed to advancing the musical art form of barbershop harmony through education, competition and performance.
