About Us

Each member of the Sounds of Pittsburgh Chorus takes pride in our commitment to excellence in the field of a cappella four part harmony.

A cappella music is seeing a resurgence and is getting people of all ages excited by its close harmonies.  The Sounds of Pittsburgh Chorus has been recognized for our reputation of excellence in sound and performance for over 40 years throughout the tri-state area.  Along with nearly 30,000 women in 600 chapters of Sweet Adelines world-wide, a love of singing keeps us entertaining audiences year-round.  Sounds of Pittsburgh Chorus sings a wide variety of music arranged in the barbershop style, from Broadway show tunes and big band sounds to patriotic crowd pleasers and old time ballads.  Stereotypes are broken by Sounds including surprising elements like swing, pop, disco, and even a little classical music!

Our objective is to educate chorus  members in the original American art form of a cappella harmony in the barbershop style, entertain in the community, and support efforts to promote and retain this art form for future generations.  We pursue these objectives through education, performance and community service throughout the Greater Pittsburgh area.
