Welcome to the main web page for the Salt Lake Swiss Chorus Edelweiss.
We are a registered nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting Swiss music and activities in Utah (more information here). The organization consists of a singing and yodeling chorus, an alphorn group, small musical ensembles, and a children's chorus.
We welcome anyone who is interested in participating with us: singing, playing an instrument, or helping out with chorus business. We'll be starting our Winter/Spring 2026 season on Thursday, January 29th at 7 p.m. at the former Hillside Chapel, 1400 South 1900 East, SLC. Rehearsals will continue every Thursday evening (except for inclement weather) at the same time and place until May. Everyone interested is welcome!
