Rochester Chorus

It is with deep regret that we announce Rochester Chorus finds it necessary to dissolve.

While our membership worked tirelessly and valiantly to keep the Rochester Chorus flourishing, our shrinking numbers made it challenging for us to continue with the many activities necessary to run a viable Sweet Adeline chapter. We are comforted only by the fact that our rich 58-year history will remain etched in the memories of all who know our chorus. (A history that includes 7 Regional championships, many quartet medalists, a highly respected community presence, and life-long friendships.) We are also very proud that our members remain full of love for one another and will always consider each other to be family. We'll continue to keep in touch with each other, as well as to hold periodic reunions of our 250+ Rochester Chorus alumni.

Rochester Chorus thanks all of you in Region 16 for your unparalleled sisterhood over the years, and especially the Regional Management Team for their compassion through this difficult time for us.

While our song has ended, the music will fill our hearts forever.

In harmony,

Rochester Chorus Management Team

Sue Melvin - Director

Lisa Twitchell - Finance Coordinator
