Who Are We ?
The
Chorus of DuPage represents the DuPage Valley Chapter of the
Society
for the Preservation and
Encouragement of Barber
Shop Quartet
Singing in America, also known as the Barbershop Harmony Society.
The Barbershop
Harmony Society, the world's largest all-male singing society,
brings together men of all ages who love singing music in the barbershop style
— four-part, A Cappella (unaccompanied), close-harmony singing.
In
barbershop, the melody of the song is carried by the lead singer,
while the tenor harmonizes above the melody. The bass sings the
lowest notes and the baritone fills in the missing notes below or
above the melody to complete the chord.
Our
goals
Fun
— First and foremost, members should have fun singing barbershop.
Fellowship
— Perpetuate barbershop singing, encourage vocal harmony and good
fellowship among its members.
Harmony
— Encourage and promote the education of its members and the public
in music appreciation of barbershop quartet and chorus singing.

entertaining the communities where we live and sing.
Come join us any Tuesday night. See
Meetings for time and directions.
