Welcome!
Hickory Tree is an award-winning women's chorus dedicated to the all-American art form of singing four-part a cappella harmony in barbershop style. 2008 marks our 40th anniversary!
NEW! Come and see Hickory Tree perform at the opening ceremony of the Berkeley Heights/New Providence Relay for Life on Saturday, May 31. Sponsored by the American Cancer Society, the event raises funds in support of cancer research and honors survivors and the memory of those whose lives have been taken. Besides entertaining attendees, the chorus will again have an all-night walking team. To support Hickory Tree's efforts at the Relay for Life, please check back here in the next few days for full details, including how you can make a pledge. NEW! Below see our schedule of Upcoming Performances.
Congratulations!
Hickory Tree Chorus was overjoyed to have again won the First Place blue ribbon at the 2007 Greater New York Region #15 Regional Competition. As Regional Champions, we will represent our area in the Sweet Adelines International competition in November, 2008, in Honolulu, Hawaii. NEW! List of awards we've won.
We're very excited about our trip to Hawaii, but we have many other things to do before then.
We performed our original annual show on November 17, 2007, plus we will give local performances, and work on our skills with some of the world's best teachers and coaches.
And best of all, we'll learn lots of new music.
