In 2021 the Chorus celebrated its 70th anniversary and was honored with a Proclamation from San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria. Although their official 70th anniversary event was postponed by the pandemic, the chorus is excited to celebrate the milestone now with their first live show in over two years.

“This show is the culmination of hours of virtual and in-person rehearsals,” says Master Director Kathleen Hansen. “It is a joyous celebration of musical milestones and memories that give us an opportunity to share our love of music through live performance.” said Hansen.

The repertoire of the San Diego Chorus is diverse and spans multiple decades. Show attendees will enjoy classic a cappella barbershop songs juxtaposed with more familiar, contemporary numbers including songs from The Greatest Show, the Beatles, Journey, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Juice Newton and more.

In addition to performances by the San Diego Chorus, several award-winning quartets will be featured throughout the evening. Included among them is Solo Voce, 4th place award-winners within Region 21 of Sweet Adelines International. The highly competitive region spans Southern California, Arizona, New Mexico and Hawaii.
