On March 1, 2004, High Desert Harmony Chorus was officially chartered as Northern Nevada’s first (and to this date, only) affiliate chapter of Sweet Adelines International. On August 17, 2024, HDH celebrated their 20th anniversary in grand style with a very special show in the elegant ballroom of the Whitney Peak Hotel in downtown Reno. An enthusiastic audience of more than 200 attended the anniversary show, with many participating in the pre-concert barbershop workshop. 

Highlights of the show included chorus members wearing costumes from past years, members sharing their personal memories about the chorus, and a performance by HDH’s own Double Down quartet. Several past directors and chorus members were in attendance and joined the chorus on stage for the final song, “How We Sang Today.”


HDH is grateful to the City of Reno Arts and Culture Commission for their support of this project, as well as our many sponsors and supporters.
