Welcome to the new home of the Kalamazoo, MI chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society! The chorus consists of various voices ranges, ages, experiences, and professions. Some of the members are new this season and some have participated with the group over 25 years! In short, the Kalamazoo chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society is a truly diversified group of gentlemen who enjoy ringing those barbershop chords while maintaining a high level of camaraderie and companionship.

Our chapter is proud to be a part of multiple organizations and have affiliations with many groups, both locally and nationally. In the Barbershop Harmony Society, we are an integral part of the Pioneer District. We are also a member of the Arts Council of Greater Kalamazoo. We also team up with the Mid-Lakes Chorus of Sweet Adelines on occasion. Lastly, we have affiliated with the Great Lakes Harmony Brigade.  The chorus meets every Tuesday from 7pm - 10pm in the SSJ Transformations Spirituality Center (formerly known as Nazareth College), located at 3427 Gull Rd., Kalamazoo, MI.

Brigaders are Society members dedicated to Extreme Quartetting, freelance quartetting of high quality arrangements made famous by medalist-level quartets. We coordinate music choices Brigade-to- Brigade so that Brigaders from anywhere have a large common repertoire with other Brigaders. We gather at annual Brigade Rallies to pursue Extreme Quartetting. We commit to, and fulfill, the preparation this activity requires.
