North Atlantic Region One of Sweet Adelines International will hold its 34th
Annual A Cappella Quartet and Show Chorus Competition at Symphony Hall,
Springfield, MA.

17 choruses and 23 quartets representing the New England states, northeastern
New York State, Quebec and the Maritime Provinces of Canada will compete for
regional titles and the opportunity to advance to international competition.

Each women's a cappella show chorus and quartet is a musical asset to its
community, regularly entertaining at civic events and charitable functions.
Proceeds from performances are often shared with scholarship funds, health care
and social services programs, and arts and humanities organizations. Sweet
Adelines offers its members music education, personal growth opportunities, and
life-long friendships.

The Quartet Competition will be held Friday, May 1st, 3:00 pm, followed by the
Chorus Competition at noon, May 2nd. There will also be a Show of Champions
event at the Sheraton Springfield Saturday evening at 8pm. All are open to the
public, with tickets available at the door, at $30 per contest and $15 for the
Show of Champions, or $45 for all events.
