Rising Star

An Extraordinary Experience

The anticipation, excitement and discipline of preparing for an adjudicated barbershop contest in an environment of learning and fun is available to women singers age 25 and younger.

The purpose of the Rising Star Quartet Contest is to encourage young women to develop mastery in their singing technique, and experience the pleasure of singing four part a cappella harmony in the barbershop style.

The contest is just one attraction of the exciting three-day International Education Symposium produced by Sweet Adelines International, one of the world's most experienced vocal music education organisations. IES includes curriculum especially suited to young women singers and their vocal music instructors.

The Young Singers Foundation awards cash prizes of $2,000, $1,000, and $500 (US dollars) for the first, second, and third place winners of the Rising Star Quartet Contest. This contest is scheduled for Friday, July 18, 2008 at 7:30 p.m., on the campus of Trinity University, San Antonio, Texas.

Winners of the Rising Star Quartet Contest will also be invited to perform at the Sweet Adelines International Convention.
