The Lehigh Valley Chorus (LVC) is a dynamic women’s chorus that has been entertaining the Lehigh Valley with quality four-part a cappella performances for over 49 years. Chartered in 1947, the Lehigh Valley Chorus is a member of Sweet Adelines International, a world wide organization dedicated to the preservation of barbershop harmony.

Members of the chorus range in age from 18 to over 80 and come from all parts of the Lehigh Valley, including Easton, Bethlehem, Allentown, and Quakertown, PA.

In 2004, the Lehigh Valley Chorus was honored when they were named the Region 19 Most Improved Chorus. That same year, LVC was awarded 3rd place Division A chorus in their regional contest. The following year, the Lehigh Valley Chorus returned to their regionl contest and was awarded 2nd place Division A Chorus. This past April, the chorus competed once again and was awarded 2nd place Division A chorus.

On October 21, 2006, LVC held their annual show, "Come Fly with Me", at Allentown's historic Symphony Hall. The show featured Lehigh University's Melismatics and Vocal Spectrum, the 2006 International Barbershop Quartet Champions.
