The Lighthouse Chorus is a men’s a Capella chorus that performs primarily in the barbershop style. Barbershop harmony is a uniquely American musical art form that is known for its four-part harmony and the “expanded sound” created by its unique chord.
Members of the Chorus come from multiple counties throughout the area, including Berrien and Cass County in Michigan and St. Joseph and La Porte County in Indiana. They also come from all walks of life, including teachers, doctors, engineers, retirees, management and labor. Some members havemore than 50 years of Barbershop experience and othershave less than a year. They have performed in almost every southwest Michigan and northwest Indiana community, singing on stages, in parks, on sidewalks and in churches. All of the members share onething—the love of this art form as a hobby.
The Lighthouse Chorus is always looking for new members and welcomes any male that loves to sing to visit the Chorus practices on Thursday evenings at 7 PM at the Grace United Methodist Church in Niles, MI. Music instruction will be available to make the novice feel at home quickly. See what fun it is to harmonize with other barbershoppers!
