WHO ARE THE RIVER BLENDERS?

We are a Sweet Adelines International chorus - over 80 women strong, from all walks of life, united in our love of singing a cappella 4-part harmony and in our desire to share the transforming power of music.   In 47 years of sharing our music, we are proud to have been the 2022 11th place chorus at the Sweet Adelines International Contest in Phoenix as well as the 2016 Sweet Adelines International Harmony Classic first place mid-sized chorus (ranked worldwide)! We love representing Region 5 at International Contest and have been the regional championship chorus 16 times.
