We are Rain City Voices.
We are a non-audition chorus on a path of continuous musical growth in a spirit of mutual
support and fellowship. We share our love of harmony by delighting and inspiring our
audiences, reaching out to our community, and supporting music education
Who is
Rain City Voices?
The Seattle chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society (formerly the Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barbershop Singing in America) was chartered on April 14, 1949, and incorporated on October 2, 1953. Since then, Rain City Voices (Formerly the SeaChordsmen) have been bringing the joy of barbershop harmony to music lovers in the area.
​
We are a gender-inclusive chorus that sings TTBB barbershop repertoire. We welcome all singers to our chorus, regardless of singing ability -- there are no auditions. If you can sing, we will help you improve; if you are new to singing, we will support you in understanding and best using your voice. And we would love to have you be a part of our rehearsals.
Come join us on any Tuesday evening!
