GENERAL DESCRIPTION #1
Cheshiremen Chorus
The Keene Chapter and the Cheshiremen Chorus is proudly
recognized as one of the region's premier choral organizations encompassing the
Barbershop Harmony Society's vision of an ever-growing, singing fraternity,
drawn together by love of the four-part, a cappella, close-harmony style of
music known as barbershop.
The Cheshiremen perpetuate the barbershop style of music and our chapter through
a strong, ever-improving music program that provides continuous education to our
members, and through dynamic, entertaining performances on stage, in halls,
streets, and fields throughout the region, wherever the opportunity exists for
wholesome, unplugged vocal harmony.
The Cheshiremen Chorus endeavors be a leader in the cause of preserving and
encouraging vocal music in our education systems and in our communities, as a
lifelong recreational activity and an essential element in one’s cultural being.
For members, we maintain a well-rounded program, blending together singing,
performing, family functions, quartetting, music education and fellowship,
promoting fun and opportunity for musical improvement. We view divisional and
district contests as opportunities to quantify our progress in musical
presentation and singing, and compete only to meter our goals of constantly
improving our own presentation and performances.
You’re probably already a better singer than you think but you don't need to
sing alone when you can sing along. Anyone can be a singer. We can teach you,
help you every step of the way, share the fun of making music with men who are
passionate about harmony. You can sing too! Making harmony… making friends. The
Barbershop Harmony Society brings together men from across the continent, who
love to make great a cappella harmony together. With more than 30,000 singers in
the U.S. and Canada, we're the place where you can sing! You'll find lots of
opportunities to learn more about your voice and how to use it, through weekly
meetings, workshops, schools and instructional materials. You'll enjoy taking
part in contests, presenting shows, and polishing your skills to their ultimate
potential. The Keene Chapter has been around for more than 58 years! Check
us out today!
You are invited to join us anytime! We meet in the lower dining room of the UCC
Church at the head of Central Square in downtown Keene every Tuesday night
starting at 7:00 PM. Discover harmony! Please join us! Contact us toll free
