Who are the Arlingtones? The Arlingtones Barbershop Chorus is a non-profit singing group dedicated to preserving and performing barbershop music in Arlington, Virginia, and the surrounding area. The Arlingtones were founded in 1957. The chorus and chapter quartets have a lengthy and well-known tradition of providing clean, wholesome, quality entertainment for a variety of functions throughout Northern Virginia. In the spring and fall of each year we produce and perform an original barbershop production with the chorus, our quartets and guest performers. The Arlingtones usually recreate our spring show at the Lubber Run Amphitheater as part of the Arlington County "Summer in the Parks program. We also compete each year in a singing contest with other choruses in our area. Affiliations: The Arlingtones Barbershop Chorus is the Arlington, Virginia chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society, formerly known as the Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barbershop Quartet Singing in America, Incorporated or SBEBSQSA. We are one of over 700 chapters in the United States and Canada with combined membership of over 30,000 men. The Society is affiliated with a number of other barbershop singing organizations around the world. The Chapter is sponsored in part by Arlington County through the Cultural Affairs Division of the Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Resources and the Arlington Commission for the Arts. Vision Statement: The Arlingtones seek to preserve the art of 4-part a cappella music by offering musical performances in the barbershop style, demonstrating fellowship by their activities, and promoting a community spirit within Arlington.
