Guiding Principles

We have a lot of fun singing at a high level, but as one of the first all voice choruses in the Barbershop Harmony Society, we take our role of keeping the tradition of close harmony alive for everyone who wants to participate. Everyone!

Vision

Harmony In Union With Humanity.

Mission

To create unity between and among artists and communities, by sharing deeply human vocal harmony.

Strategies

1. Foster a culture of honesty, openness, and trust across the organization.

2. Support artists in building their skills and taking responsibility for their growth.

3. Work to make our risers a space for acceptance and welcome. We sing best when we are free to be our true selves.

4. Create art that brings people together through music and words.

5. Develop performances, programs, and partnerships that reflect and support our shared vision.

6. Strengthen leadership and improve how we operate to ensure we can keep growing over time.

It’s not enough to just invite more voices into our work. We’re making deep changes—not just to our art, but also to how we run things: our leadership, systems, finances, marketing, and traditions. These changes are focused on welcome, authentic artistic expression and being an example of the beauty of all voices in harmony!
