Mission Statement: Within our worldwide singing organization, we are a cutting edge, diverse and inclusive chorus committed to empowering women singers through education, competition and performances.
Vision Statement: We push the boundaries of musical and performance excellence to spark imagination, engage the senses and evoke emotions for ourselves and our audiences as we extend the limits of the possible.
The Rich-Tones are five-time International Champions in the global Sweet Adelines International (SAI) organization, chartered in Richardson 53 years ago. Diverse and inclusive, with approximately 135 innovative women, we are empowered through education, competition and performances.
Our very name is closely associated with the City, and we are proud ambassadors of Richardson locally, nationally and internationally. We appeal to audiences of all ages and backgrounds; our diverse repertoire includes traditional and contemporary music.
Our competitions are broadcast globally.
Dale Syverson, our director, is recognized globally as a master of our art form. Among many accomplishments, she has earned the SAI President’s Lifetime Achievement Award. A much-sought teacher, she has promoted our chorus throughout her world travels.
Education and leadership characterize our chorus; many of our members have held Regional and International leadership roles. We continually learn from coaches who specialize in vocal production and visual presentation.
