Capitaland Chorus is pleased to announce the appointment of our new director, Jeffrey Stein.
Capitaland Chorus was chartered in October, 1977, as the Latham Circle Chapter of Sweet Adelines International, with only 20 members. Over the years, our membership has increased from a handful of local women to a diverse group of women from ages 20 to 80+ with varying interests, backgrounds, and occupations, who live and work in six counties in and around the Capital District. Due to this expansion, the chorus changed its name to Capitaland Chorus.
Each spring we compete with more than two dozen choruses from Western and Upstate New York and the Canadian province of Ontario. For the past several years, Capitaland has placed in the top five in this regional competition, capturing first place medals in 1996, 1999, 2002 and 2004! These achievements allowed us to compete with other regional champions from all around the world at the Sweet Adelines International Competitions held in Salt Lake City in 1997, Orlando, Florida in 2000, Phoenix, Arizona in 2003 and Detroit in 2005!
In the most recent contest, Capitaland took highest honors in the AA category - medium size choruses. This accomplishment allowed them to compete at the 2008 Harmony Classic, at the International Education Symposium, held in San Antonio, TX, where they placed fourth in the world!
Education is of prime importance to Sweet Adelines. This goal is achieved through international-level coaches and faculty who train us in vocal production, choreography, and showmanship.
Throughout the year we continue to promote our craft by performing for various community events, assisting charitable groups with fundraising, singing in our Annual Show, and spreading holiday cheer via Valograms and Harmony-grams. We have welcomed travelers to the airport during the holiday season and perform at company parties during the year.
As you can see, we are a very active and involved chorus in both our community and our sponsoring organization. Come join the fun!
