Emerald City Chorus . . . where dreams come true
Emerald City Chorus members can attest to the fact that dreams do come true! In late 2006 we envisioned a vibrant and thoroughly motivated chorus with new goals and visions. Most of all we wanted to have fun! As we come together each week for rehearsal, we experience wonderful camaraderie, the best possible musical education and the exhilarating feeling of singing one of America's original art forms, barbershop harmony. Goosebumps have been known to appear on many occasions!

ABOUT THE HEART OF AMERICA MEN'S CHORUS
The Heart of America Men's Chorus began in 2002 with five members. Their purpose was to form a men's choral organization comprised of members who enjoy singing and have a strong volunteer spirit. Now more than 45 members strong, this all-male volunteer chorus performs at Wichita's historic Orpheum theater, as well as at special events and dedicates a portion of every concert's proceeds to an area non-profit organization.
Previous beneficiaries include Wichita Community Children's Choir, ROCKO, GRACEMED Health Clinic, the Dr. Donna Sweet Emergency Fund, Kansas Food Bank, Greensburg USD 422, Wichita Children's Home, Project SONRISA, and Wichita's historic Orpheum theater.
