The Brothers in Harmony Chorus meets in Hamilton Square, New Jersey and is affiliated with the Barbershop Harmony Society, an International organization that represents about 30,000 male Barbershop singers. The Chorus was chartered in 1998 in Easton, PA and moved its rehearsals to the First Presbyterian Church in Hamilton Square, NJ four years ago. During these years, they have provided audiences with rich, vibrant, award-winning barbershop harmonies, and family-oriented entertainment. Additionally, the 'Brothers' have competed very successfully in Division, District, and International Competitions held by the Barbershop Harmony Society. They have won numerous Division and District level Championships across the Mid-Atlantic region, and have qualified to represent the Mid-Atlantic District at the Barbershop Harmony Society International Championships six times, singing for many thousands of appreciative barbershop enthusiasts in Anaheim, Louisville, Denver, Nashville, Philadelphia, and Kansas City. Consistently ranked among the top twenty barbershop choruses worldwide, the 'Brothers' achieved their greatest competitive success in 2010 in Philadelphia when the Chorus finished ninth out of nearly 900 registered choruses in the Society.

Join us for a fun (and filling) evening! Cost is $5/person with a maximum of $15/family. Please contact the
