Welcome!

Capitaland Chorus of Albany, New York is an award-winning chapter in Region 16 of

Sweet Adelines International. We are an all women's barbershop chorus with approximately 35 members, from ages 20 - 70+, with varying interests, backgrounds and occupations, who live and work in six counties in and around the Capital District, all of whom are dedicated to the art of four-part a cappella singing. Throughout the year, the entire chorus or smaller ensembles and quartets continue to promote our craft, performing for various community events, assisting charitable groups with fundraising, performing in our chorus show, and spreading cheer through Singing Valentines and Harmony Grams.

Capitaland Chorus had a Top Ten finish  at our Regional Competition, held on April 30, 2011.  Listen to our performance of  "Brokenhearted" and our uptune, a medley named "Two Tickets to Georgia/Sentimental Gentleman of Georgia."  

 

“Dynamic growth through personal improvement and individual responsibility, fueled by mutual respect, an enthusiastic spirit, and a loving bond.”

November Sweet Adeline of the Month: Niki Fillipone

In passing along this month's honor, Mary Murphy said that she had written a poem to mark the occassion, noting that she couldn't resist the obvious rhyme "Fillipone and baritone!" 

 

Unfortunately, Mary forgot the poem, but was eloquent as she thanked Niki for her work behind the scenes, yet without fanfare.  "Niki is a member of a wonderful quartet [Mad Caps], and makes all the CDs and learning tapes for the members of the chorus,"  was just a part of Mary's presentation to her fellow bari section member.  Thank you, Niki, for your continued support.  Congratulations!
