Who We Are

Capital City Chorus (CCC) is an Arts Education Organization for Indiana. A dynamic women’s choral arts organization, Capital City Chorus performs at private and public events throughout the Central Indiana area, and also presents its own musical cabarets and stage shows. Through our performances and educational outreach, we educate the public about barbershop music, which is one of the few truly original American musical art forms.

Since its inception, CCC has entertained audiences throughout the Midwest with its special brand of four-part harmony.

Singing Valentines
A driving goal of CCC is to be a Fabulous Performing Chorus! Weekly rehearsals, private vocal instruction for members, dance lessons, public performances and competition with other barbershop groups help the chorus reach toward that goal. Performances feature a wide variety of music, including old standards, Broadway show-stoppers, contemporary pop and country, gospel, patriotic numbers and jazz -- which give audiences a high-quality, high-energy performance that will leave them smiling and humming a familiar tune.
