River Bend Chorus

River Bend Chorus Michiana's acapella barbershop show chorus for women - welcoming women of all ages to sing with us!

River Bend Chorus, Michiana's acapella show chorus for women, is a group of fun-loving, hardworking and dynamic women of all ages, occupations and backgrounds enjoying a musical journey of education and entertainment while advancing the musical art form of barbershop harmony.

Founded in 1977, this local chapter of Sweet Adelines International has entertained audiences with its special brand of

four-part harmony throughout Michiana and even as far away as New York City. In 1991 RBC was honored to sing at Carnegie Hall for its 100th anniversary celebration! RBC performs a variety of music, including old standards, Broadway show-stoppers, contemporary pop and country, gospel, patriotic numbers and jazz -- giving audiences a quality performance that leaves them smiling and humming a familiar tune. River Bend is truly rooted in Michiana with members from the South Bend, Elkhart, New Paris, New Carlisle, Niles, and Union areas.

We had a terrific evening singing at Andre Place and then spending time at Fiddler’s Hearth in South Bend! Who knew that spontaneously bursting into song would earn us an invitation to have our photo taken behind the bar?!

We're considering adding this service to the community too. What a great idea!

Following the success of our Singing Valentines program, we've decided to launch a new year-round offering focused on a rather musically underserved occasion.

You see, no one likes having a dental procedure. It's painful, stressful, and there's nothing to do but sit and wait desperately for it to be over. Wouldn't it be nice to have someone there to take your mind off it all? Maybe... four someones?

Introducing Plaque-Apella, the dental quartet delivery service designed with anxious patients in mind. If your loved one has an upcoming root canal or molar implant, hire one of our very loud quartets to sing over the sound of the drill and into their hearts. They won't stop talking about how much they enjoyed our rich four-part harmony (once the novocain wears off, of course). Sign up today, and for less than your copay, we'll turn that extraction into exultation!

Congratulations to our member Peg Adams, who was awarded her 55 years certificate and pin last night!
