The Nassau Mid-Island Chapter of The Barbershop Harmony Society (largest singing society of its kind in the world) has been delighting audiences and providing gratification for its members for well over sixty years, and continues to draw great praise for its efforts.

 

The non-profit all-male chorus (called the "Long Island Harmonizers") offers the combined (and individual) talents of approximately 40 active singers, and offers an opportunity for instruction in the preserved art of barbershop harmony as well as the chance to regularly perform.

 

In addition to chorus singing barbershop quartets are formed to compete in regional, national and international competitions, to entertain for special occasions, or to simply have fun. The Chapter -- largest on Long Island -- meets and rehearses every Tuesday evening (with a few exceptions) at the Winthrop Hall of the Church of the Advent located at 555 Advent Street, Westbury, New York, at 8 p.m.

 

Those interested are welcome to attend. For more information, call 516-938-4272JJ
