ABOUT US

Award-Winning Four Part A Cappella Harmony

The San Diego Chorus performs award-winning, 4-part a cappella harmony in the barbershop style. We are committed to local entertainment and international competition. Dedicated to musical excellence and education, the San Diego Chorus holds a multitude of regional championship titles. ​Led by interim Director Kim Vaughn, each rehearsal is a lesson in vocal and performance skills. Along with musical development, this member-led organization offers many opportunities for leadership development and creative contributions in areas like communications, choreography, costume design, and show production. Members travel from across southern California, Arizona, Nevada, and Hawaii to participate.
