In Harmony with the Community
An award-winning documentary short featuring
the Capital Accord Chorus
Bringing the Joy of Barbershop Singing to Audiences throughout the DC Metro Area
The Silver Spring-based Capital Accord Chorus sings four-part a cappella harmony in the barbershop style with repertoire ranging from pop to standards and show tunes. A chapter of Sweet Adelines International, we welcome women and nonbinary singers with voices in the treble range (basically soprano, second soprano, and alto) and provide a welcoming and inclusive singing space.
Chartered in 1995, Capital Accord Chorus currently includes about 40 singers spanning multiple generations, drawing from Montgomery County, Maryland, as well as Washington, D.C. and Northern Virginia. We are a fun-loving, talented group that loves to sing, wants to get progressively better as musicians, and enjoys sharing music with others. Through weekly rehearsals, retreats, and workshops, we prepare music for community performances and yearly Sweet Adelines International (SAI) competitions. In addition, our quartets love performing in the community and connecting through song.
