Bytown Beat, under the direction of Pam Warkentin, is a Sweet Adelines chorus located in Ottawa Ontario. We sing a cappella harmony that is also known as barbershop. Women of all ages are offered a creative outlet for musical growth.

At Bytown Beat's weekly rehearsals, members receive vocal lessons and learn to sing as a harmony team.

The group is always looking for new members. No formal musical training is required. An audition is held after a period of 4-6 weeks.
