Mission Statement

Mission Valley is a championship chorus of women singers committed to musical excellence, advancing the art form of barbershop harmony through individual growth, education, performance and community outreach.

As a chapter of Sweet Adelines International, members offer friendship, talent and enthusiasm through music to woment of all ages.

The International award-winning Mission Valley Chorus has been an entertainment mainstay of the San Francisco Bay Area since its founding in 1958. This year marks our Golden Anniversary as a chorus. Dedicated to performing vocal music in the classic American four-part harmony style known as Barbershop, Mission Valley is one of the premier chapters of Sweet Adelines International, a women's vocal organization of more than 30,000 voices across the nation and around the world.

Mission Valley Chorus holds many regional and international contest titles, including the coveted Sweet Adelines International Championship in 1976.

Fully supported through membership dues, corporate and foundation grants, and public performances, Mission Valley earns high regard in the community not only for the superb entertainment it provides, but also for the opportunity it offers talented women to participate in a truly first-class musical experience.

Mission Valley applies its talents to virtually every style of music that can be called American: Jazz, Rhythm and Blues, Broadway, Big Band, Gospel, Swing, and even Rock 'n Roll. This exciting chorus fills the stage with glitter and glamour and a rich sound attainable only from a professionally trained group of singers.

We promise an unforgettable performance of all-American music amidst costumes, choreography, and ringing chords that will thrill audiences of all ages.

Sweet Adelines International is the world's largest singing organization for women - an independent, nonprofit music education association whose primary purpose is to educate its members in the art of 4-part barbershop harmony. We welcome women of all ages who are interested in learning to sing a cappella 4-part harmony and offer training in this American singing style!
