Heart of the Island Chorus is a proud member 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 Chorus is entering its 37th year in Nanaimo, a longevity made possible through dedicated members and talented directors. The Heart of the Island repertoire includes many audience favorites, including The Beatles’ In My Life, Brian Setzer’s Stray Cat Strut, Wonderful World and Over The Rainbow, to name just a few. We welcome women from Nanaimo, Ladysmith, Duncan, Parksville and Qualicum Beach and are actively looking for women 19 years and older to join our dynamic chorus. All parts are open; Bass, Baritone, Lead and Tenor. You do not have to read music, but you do need a good ear for music.
Almost every year, Heart of the Island Chorus participates in the Upper Island Music Festival, as well as competing in the Regional Convention where singers from Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia vie for medals. Members have fond remembrances of winning the Small Chorus trophy twice, as well as the Most Improved award. In the community, the ladies have sung Canada Day celebrations in the park and numerous private functions.
Heart of the Island Chorus rehearsals are held Wednesday evenings from 7–9:30 pm at the Lantzville Legion (upstairs) at 7227 Lantzville Road in Lantzville, BC.
