Image City Sound is a membership organization of female singers, who meet regularly to practice, perform, socialize, and have fun. We currently have over 20 singers of all ages, from all walks of life, and from all parts of the Greater Rochester, NY area. Image City Sound is a chapter of Sweet Adelines, International and directed by the talented Maggie Swift.
Our vision is that of Sweet Adelines International - a worldwide organization of women singers committed to advancing the musical art form of barbershop harmony through education and performance.
The main purpose of Image City Sound is to get out and sing for our community. We sing at annual shows, a number of community events, and at annual competitions. We also perform Singing Telegrams, in person or by telephone, for birthdays and special events as well as around Valentines Day and Mother's Day. 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 check out our Hire Us section.
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. At least twice a year, we will get coaching from a visiting master in the art of barbershop harmony, where we learn many fabulous tricks of the trade.
In the spring of every year, Image City Sound
participates in the
Region 16 Sweet Adeline chorus competition in
Syracuse, NY. Competition is 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 different city each year. In 2011, International Competition will be held in
Houston, Texas.
