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 generally rehearse on Thursdays at 7 p.m. at in locations to be announced. Everyone interested is welcome! Send us an email if you're coming for the first time so we can provide you with useful arrival instructions.
