About Pearls
– The most sparkling pearls around!!
Pearls of the Sound (Pearls) is a female chorus where every member joins in with joy and energy to sing and spread Barbershop around the world. Beginning in 1984, a growing number of girls have met up to sing, show, and compete in this style of singing. To read more about Barbershop, click here!
Our chorus is a member of the global barbershop-organization for women; Sweet Adelines, and being a competing chorus we aim to enter in as many regional and international competitions as possible. Pearls enters in region #32, Nordic Light Region, and since 1987 we have competed with good results. Our top achievement is winning the title of Small Chorus World Champions, which we did in the United States 2001 after qualifying regionally in 2000.
There are also a number of Quartets originating from Pearls of the Sound, read more about them here!
Since the start, Pearls have had about 40 active members. This has put us in the category of "Small Chorus" in the barbershop-world, where choruses of 100 members or more are not unusual. Our goal dating a couple of years back has been to grow into the "Midsize Chorus" category (ranging from 40 to about 80 active members), and 2004 was the first year we competed in this category, earning us an overall fifth place in the regional competitions. Our ambition is for the chorus to grow to roughly 60 active members, and we are well on our way!
