Come As You Are. Be As You Be.
“Because music is magic, and when I walked into a Gateway Chorus Rehearsal, I found the missing magic in my life.”
Gateway Chorus is an a cappella choir in Edmonton, Alberta. We specialize in producing that beautiful ringing sound you only hear in barbershop harmony.
Gateway was established as a chapter of Sweet Adelines International in 1961. A competitive performance chorus, we've had successes at both the regional and international levels. We've competed at Internationals seven times: in Salt Lake City (1990), Nashville (2002, 2009), Indianapolis (2004), San Antonio (2007), Seattle (2010), and Phoenix (2022).
We may be an internationally ranked chorus, but we welcome singers of all ages and experience levels, from long-time a capella fans to brand new converts! Want to get a better idea of what we do? Check out our media page, or just drop by for a rehearsal (in-person or zoom options available).
