The Heart of Illinois Chorus, which chartered on January 13, 1982, is an organization of women who like to sing women’s four-part harmony and have fun! We are one of 700 choruses of Sweet Adelines International, a worldwide non-profit organization dedicated to women’s a cappella four-part harmony arranged in the barbershop style. 

To support our musical activities, the Hearts have an annual show in the fall and perform in the community.

The Heart of Illinois Chorus has been a Chorus In-Residence at Illinois Central College for many years. Any woman singer can attend our rehearsals. It is a great way to enhance your singing ability, and learn the joy of performing! 

We have had members of all ages, who find the Heart of Illinois Chorus a wonderful extension of their lives and families. Look closely and find the mother & daughters and sets of sisters on the risers. The music brings us together from all walks of life and the harmony of barbershop weaves us together like the chords we sing.
