On May 16, 2026, Venetian Harmony Chorus took the stage at the SingUnited International Regional 9 Competition in Orlando. Thirteen choruses and many quartets gathered to perform. The group presented a three-song “entertainment package,” weaving humor and storytelling through Scotland with the help of emcees, Jennifer Falkner, Jennifer Wiederhold, and Holly O’Keefe. That night, the audience awarded them the 2026 Region 9 Bravo Chorus Award, their favorite performance.
Venetian Harmony Chorus brings together women who love singing a cappella, specializing in the Barbershop style. They perform all over Englewood, Venice, and the nearby communities, sharing their music at local events and celebrations.
Their set featured beloved tunes: “Loch Lomond,” “Almost Like Being In Love” (which included a lively Scottish dance by Jean Bednar), and “The Skye Boat Song,” famous from the TV show Outlander. All three songs captured the crowd and brought a bit of Scotland to Orlando.
Venetian Harmony Chorus is a non-profit affiliate of Sweet Adelines International, and more than anything, they love singing for the community and having fun together. When they rehearse, it feels less like practice and more like a gathering of friends. Music provides connection, laughter and support for one another.
If you enjoy singing, or if you just want to see what they’re all about, they invite you to join them for a rehearsal. On Mondays at 6:30 p.m., you’ll find them in the Community Hall behind Christ Lutheran Church at 701 N. Indiana Ave, Englewood. Visitors are always welcome. Come by, listen in, and sing along. Whether you’re curious about joining or want to book Venetian Harmony Chorus for your next event, stop in and say hello. They’d love to meet you.
