Fox Valley Harmonizers

Fox Valley Harmonizers The chorus sings barbershop harmony, which permits men and women of all ages to combine their voices in exciting four-part, close-harmony singing.

We are just a bunch of regular people, of all ages, from all walks of life with one thing in common....the love of singing in the barbershop style. If you enjoy close harmony, a Capella, barbershop singing and good fellowship, in the Fox Valley area of Lake, McHenry and Kane Counties you've come to the right place. Don't worry if you don't have a wonderful solo voice and have never sung with a gro

up before. Maybe you can't even read music. Many of us are in the same boat. However if you can carry a tune and have a good ear for music, you're sure to fit in just fine. One factor contributing to the (Barbershop Society's) vast growth is the knowledge that a man does not need to have extensive musical training to enjoy singing. The Society welcomes into its membership good citizens from every walk of life, who get satisfaction from being the central part of a chord of music, whether it originates from the heart or from a musical arrangement. The enjoyment of barbershop harmony knows no age boundaries. Our youngest members are in their teens (did you know the Osmond Brothers got their start barbershopping?) our oldest members are in their 70's and 80's. Come Sing With Us!

You don't even have to sing (or hear) a whole song to get a feel for, or enjoy, barbershop harmony. Give this one a listen....

That's dedication! Our injured bass, Mel, persevering through the enormous mild discomfort of an injured leg to join us in singing. Also, welcome back to our snowbird, Tom. It's nice having you back singing with us.

Is there anyone you know who might like to sing? We're always looking for a few more voices. No obligation to buy. Just come and have fun for a while.

We were going to post a picture of our director playing on his phone instead of paying attention during the business portion of our rehearsal. But then this clip appeared in our feed, and we had to share. Enjoy!
