About Dogwood Blossoms Chorus

Dogwood Blossoms Chorus is a membership organization of female singers, who meet regularly to practice, perform, socialize, and have fun. We currently have over 30 singers of all ages, all walks of life, and from Knox county and surrounding areas.

Performance

The main purpose of Dogwood Blossoms Chorus is to get out and sing for our community. We sing at annual shows, a number of community events, and at annual competitions. We are available to sing at your next function or event. If you're looking for a unique musical experience to liven up your event, please check out our Hire Us section.

Education

In addition to sharing our music with others, another great passion of ours is learning more about the art of acapella singing. Vocal instruction is a regular part of chorus rehearsals, and a very important component of the chorus experience. A couple of times a year, we will get coaching from a visiting master in the art of barbershop, where we learn many fabulous tricks of the trade. Members also have the opportunity to attend various workshops and "Harmony Weekends" to learn more vocal techniques and administrative skills.

Competition

In the spring of every year, Dogwood Blossoms Chorus participates in our Region's chorus competition in Cleveland, Ohio. Competitions are a special time for quartets and choruses from our region to come together to sing for each other, and get some constructive feedback from a panel of judges. The winners of the regional competition in both quartet and chorus categories get to travel to International Competition, which is held in the fall in a city selected each year.  International Competition will be held October 28 - November 2, 2024 in Kansas City Missouri.
