Rhythm came alive in Hoyt Sherman Theater!

Hoyt Sherman Place Theatre was once again filled with captivating a cappella voices and ringing barbershop chords as the Harmony Central Sweet Adelines Chorus took the stage for their 51st annual show, "Rhythm of Life," on Saturday, October 27, at 7:30 PM.

This highly acclaimed chorus, under the artistic direction of Cheryl Doser of Windsor Heights and Diana Latch of Ankeny, is composed of nearly 45 auditioned female singers from throughout Central Iowa.  This year's show presented an outstanding collection of musical favorites, including “Young and Foolish,” “Hey, Daddy,” “Good-bye World” and “The Rhythm of Life,” all delivered with trademark precision and flair in distinctive barbershop and a cappella harmonies.     

The show featured a special quartet treat ,“Jukebox”.  



This energetic group of ladies from the Chicago area are Sweet Adelines International Quartet Semi-finalists.  


Harmony Central Chorus is Des Moines' and Central Iowa's premier women's chorus, providing the finest in a cappella and barbershop harmonies.  This award-winning chorus has provided Central Iowa women with the opportunity to perform and compete both regionally and internationally since 1956.  Made up of a diverse group of women of all ages, Harmony Central most recently won second place in the mid-sized chorus division at its four-state regional competition.  Not only does this group offer a unique opportunity for women to sing and perform, there are many leadership opportunities available both musically and administratively.  We invite divas who are looking for an opportunity to sing to join us on Tuesday evenings at our rehearsal site at Southridge Mall (S.E. 14th and Army Post Road) from 7:00 - 10:00 pm.   Try us on for size!
