About Millennium Magic Chorus
Millennium Magic Chorus is a championship and internationally medaling women’s barbershop and a cappella chorus. We are known for our musical excellence, but we also love to be silly, fun, and uplifting. Our culture fosters a genuine sense of belonging, and our directorless structure allows every member to have a voice, take leadership, and build a stronger connection with each other and our audience.

We are proud members of Sweet Adelines International (SAI), a worldwide women’s singing organization that empowers women to sing, lead, and bring joy to the world through music.

What We’ll Be Singing
Participants will learn and perform two a cappella pieces that are fun, meaningful, and empowering, perfect for singers of all ages and experience levels:
-
“It’s the Music That Brings Us Together” Arranged by: Clay Hine
An original barbershop arrangement celebrating connection, harmony, and the joy of singing as a group. This song shows how music can bring people together across generations and experience levels. -
“Put Your Records On” by Corinne Bailey Rae, Arranged by: Donna Metsger & Sofia Layarda
A fun, upbeat Pop-Soul a cappella arrangement with an empowering message about being yourself, letting go of pressure, and enjoying the moment.
What’s a “Tag”?
A tag is a short, exciting musical ending often sung a cappella on its own or at the end of a song. It’s one of the most fun parts of barbershop singing, full of rich harmonies and big sound. A favorite for singers and audiences alike. Workshop participants will learn and perform a tag with the chorus during the show.
