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. We are proud to take a leading role in welcoming women members to The Chorus during the past 2 years.
