Cincinnati Sound Chorus – Where Passion Meets Harmony

Founded in 1957, Cincinnati Sound Chorus is the tri-state’s premier treble-voice barbershop chorus. We are a vibrant and dynamic community of singers united by a shared passion for vocal harmony. As a proud chapter of Sweet Adelines International (SAI) and part of Harmony Heartland Region 4, we specialize in performing four-part a cappella harmony, with a strong foundation in the barbershop style.

With over 60 members—and growing—our chorus is made up of individuals from diverse backgrounds, professions, and generations. From young adults to retirees, from seasoned vocalists to enthusiastic amateurs, each member contributes to our warm, supportive, and inclusive culture. At CSC, everyone has a place and a voice.

Our members continually strive for musical excellence through ongoing education, weekly rehearsals, public performances, and regional and international competitions. We proudly participate each year in the Harmony Heartland Region 4 contest, where top choruses from across the region compete for the opportunity to advance to the international stage.

We are committed to fostering a welcoming environment that celebrates diversity. CSC embraces people of all backgrounds, identities, experiences, and beliefs. Our music and mission reflect our dedication to inclusivity, and we are actively working to challenge and remove bias across all dimensions of identity and expression.

Cincinnati Sound Chorus has a rich history of achievement. Highlights include:

  • Representing Region 4 at the SAI International Contest in Honolulu (2008)

  • Earning a silver medal at the World Choir Games held in Cincinnati (2012)

  • Most recently, winning 1st place in the AA Division and 1st Overall at the 2024 Regional Contest, qualifying us to compete at the 2025 SAI International Competition in Columbus, Ohio
