Our mission statement: Harmony North Chorus "Celebrates the promotion of musical excellence and personal growth opportunities in a supportive and caring environment. We are committed to advancing the musical art form of barbershop harmony through education and performance."
Performance: Harmony North Chorus is a performance driven chorus singing at annual shows, a number of community events, and at an annual competition. We are available tto sing at your next function or event. If you are looking for a unique musical experience to liven up your event, please check out our Hire Us section.
Education Education is a unique part of Harmony North Chorus. Vocal instruction is a regular part of rehearsals. Our Director Catherine Robertson is a skilled vocal teacher with many years of experience in teaching both young and old, and with various choral groups. Developing our vocal skills is a very important component of the chorus experience and striving for new heights in our overall sound. Two times a year we receive coaching from Master Directors in the barbershop artform where we broaden our horizons, become better singers, performers and learn some tricks of the trade.

In the spring of every year, Harmony North Chorus participates in the Region 16 chorus competition in Syracuse ,New York. Competitions are a special time for quartets and choruses from our region to come together to sing for each other, and get some constructive feedback from a panel of judges. The winners of the regional competition in both quartet and chorus categories get to travel to International Competition, which is held annually in the fall in a selected US city. Quartets Most choruses have a number of members who form their own vocal quartets in addition to singing with the chorus. Harmony North Chorus currently is home to a number of wonderful quartets, and we are very proud of them! Click here to see our quartet section to learn more about them.
