The Chorus of the Atlantic
The Chorus of the Atlantic, a leading chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society, is hosting a Guest Night Open House Tuesday, April 16 in the Red Bank Middle School Auditorium, 101 Harding Road.
Men of all ages and musical backgrounds are invited to join the singers for an evening filled with harmony, fraternity, and friendship.
The Chorus of the Atlantic event will commence at 7:30 PM in the auditorium. Attendees will have the opportunity to experience the joy of a cappella singing in four-part harmony, under the direction of Craig J. Page, an accomplished director, performer, and music educator.
Terry Schmalzried, the chapter president, said, “Almost every one of our members came for the music, but each of us stayed for the camaraderie and satisfaction that comes with contributing to an organization like the Chorus of the Atlantic. We welcome men who like to sing – even if it’s just in the privacy of their cars – to come learn a little about a musical organization that brings novice singers together with experienced performers and has multiple generations standing shoulder-to-shoulder as they share their love for barbershop harmony.”
Director Craig J. Page emphasized, “You don’t need to read music. We’ll teach you everything you need to know to sing richly and resonantly and produce ear-pleasing harmony. You’ll soon be enjoying the ringing of beautiful a cappella chords, the company of a great bunch of fellow singers, and the thrill of performing for enthusiastic audiences.”
Guests attending the event will also have the opportunity to learn how the different voice parts blend to create the unique barbershop sound, enjoy vocal demonstrations by the chorus, and even participate in singing with the chorus.
The Chorus of the Atlantic, an award-winning chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society, sings in the barbershop harmony style, which traces its musical roots back to the turn of the 20th century. Today, barbershop harmony singers not only celebrate the classics but also put their own spin on contemporary songs as well. By joining for an evening of harmony at the Chorus of the Atlantic on this Guest Night event, men will discover the joy of singing in harmony with others and become part of a vibrant musical community.
