West Branch Chorus











Welcome to the website of the Lewisburg PA Chapter of the Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing In America
(SPEBSQSA)
History: This local men's chorus was chartered with the Society in 1975

 

Music Style:   Barbershop four part harmony is a style of unaccompanied singing with three voices harmonizing to the melody.  Barbershop quartets and choruses are dedicated to preserving the music that is in the style of "the old songs".  Tuning is nearly perfect as is possible.  The style is distinguished by uniformity of word sounds and a special emphasis on close harmony.

 

Society  Vision:   The Society is to be an ever-growing fraternity of barbershop-style singers, leading the cause of encouraging vocal music in our schools and communities

 

Membership:   Approximately 50 men in our local chorus

 

When and Where Do We Meet:   The chorus meets every Tuesday evening for rehearsal (and because we love to sing four-part harmony) at 7:30 p.m. in the Beaver Memorial United Methodist Church at 40 S. Third St., Lewisburg, PA

 

 Come and join us for some fun singing ! ! ! ! !
