    New year, New music!

    With holiday season over, it's time to dust off some of the old repertoire and add a new piece or two.  Valentine's Day is coming as well as requests for performances.  

    It's also time to introduce new people to our chorus and invite them into our membership.  More people, fuller sound, greater opportunity to perform and expand our circle of friends.  Auditions (vocal assessments) are open to everyone.  

    There's a place for you in the choir!

    Chilliwack Harmony Chorus Wins MBHA Championship
     On Saturday, April 1, the Chilliwack Harmony Chorus won the Mixed Barbershop Harmony Association (MBHA) Championship for the Barbershop Harmony Society Evergreen District Division I competition. With 17 members on stage, their two-song package performance shared the beauty and passion of the barbershop genre.
