Experience the joy of barbershop harmony from the inside out as we perform and teach the magic of barbershop music!

Discover the joy of barbershop harmony with Durham Shores Chorus!

Durham Shores Chorus invites you to a unique, interactive musical evening where you won’t just listen—you’ll sing , learn, laugh, and discover what makes barbershop harmony so magical. Where voices unite to make harmony and chords come alive.

Try singing a “tag” with us and feel the thrill of ringing chords in four‑part harmony. This two‑hour event blends our performance with hands‑on learning, making it perfect for singers and non‑singers alike.

This is a free community event designed for singers, non‑singers, music lovers, and anyone curious about how barbershop harmony works.

What You’ll Experience
-A live performance by Durham Shores Chorus and perhaps even a quartet
-A fun, beginner‑friendly introduction to the barbershop style —what it is, how it works, and why it’s so fun
