Melodeers Chorus

We are a women’s chorus affiliated with SingUnited International (fna Sweet Adelines, International). We sing four-part, acapella, barbershop style harmony.

We rehearse weekly in Wheeling, IL. We welcome visitors! Come check us out! Join the Melodeers! Our chorus is filled with people with a passion for a capella music. The chorus celebrates diversity; honors creativity; and cultivates excellence through musical performance. We welcome anyone who is interested and has a commitment to our mission to audition! The Melodeers Chorus was incorporated in 19

60 in Deerfield, IL as a women's a capella chorus affiliated with Sweet Adelines International, a worldwide, non-profit organization dedicated to women’s four-part, a capella, barbershop style harmony. The Melodeers perform a variety of musical styles from classical to pop, all a capella (unaccompanied). We pride ourselves on musical excellence regardless of the style of music. The chorus has a history of excellence, winning multiple regional, national and international awards. In 2014, in Baltimore, Maryland, the Melodeers Chorus made history by becoming the first Sweet Adelines Chorus to win 7 International Championships. They are honored to have achieved record-breaking scores in Sweet Adelines International competition, setting a new standard of excellence in the world of women’s barbershop harmony. The Melodeers have had a rich and rewarding history. The chorus is regularly invited to sing the National Anthem at Chicago Cubs home games, and performs throughout Chicago-land. The chorus draws its membership of talented women from Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin. The Melodeers have been dedicated to producing the finest in four-part harmony since 1960. Our passion for singing compels us to drive from four states and a total of 21,306 miles each week – nearly the circumference of the earth – to rehearse with our Master Director, Renée Porzel.

Some people make a difference with grand gestures. Others do it every single day with kindness, positivity, and a willingness to serve wherever needed. 💜

This year’s Directors Award honors someone who truly embodies what it means to be a “Difference Maker” — a person whose enthusiasm, creativity, reliability, and uplifting spirit inspire everyone around her.

Since joining our chorus, she has quietly and capably stepped up time and time again, always ready to help, always organized, always encouraging, and always bringing light into the room with her smile.

Her dedication, grace, and selfless spirit make our chorus stronger in countless ways, and we are so lucky to have her as part of our family.

Congratulations to our 2026 Directors Award recipient, Gretchen Streett!!!! 🎉👏
