It's the Final IES!
Register Early and Save


In 2008, and nearly a decade after the first IES, it will be time to Kick It Up a Notch - Sweet Adelines style!

In what could very well be the best year ever in IES history, Sweet Adelines and friends from around the world will converge on San Antonio to hear, see, learn and sing!

Kick it Up a Notch with more than 200 educational classes and learn from awe-inspiring featured faculty:

Sweet Adelines International icons Peggy Gram and Dale Syverson will kick off the week with a session guaranteed to accelerate your vocal skills. From Start to Finish* - is a must-see session for all singers!

Experience top educator Dr. Jim Henry - the booming bass voice of International Barbershop Harmony Society Champions, Gas House Gang. Dr. Henry is also the acclaimed director of the 160-member Ambassadors of Harmony Chorus and holds degrees in vocal music education, music theory and music composition, including a Ph.D. from Washington University. Dr. Henry travels the world as a guest conductor, coach, and lecturer.

Excitement abounds when it's kicked up a level never seen before!

*From Start to Finish features performances by 1999 International Champion Quartet, Rumors.


Registration is now open. A $50 price break is given to all Sweet Adelines International members and Sweet Adelines International male directors who register prior to March 14, 2008. Register early as class availability is on a first-come, first-served basis.
