| New Music featured in Hartford Men of Harmony's Virtual Show
The Hartford Men in Harmony have gone virtual for their 2020 Festival of Harmony to help raise funds that will sustain the barbershop community and communal singing in Greater Hartford, as well as support youth programs locally and throughout the Northeast. Four great quartets -- After Hours, GQ, Hot Pursuit, and Daily Special -- will bring you a special show that will feature SONG DEBUTS from each quartet. The Hartford Men in Harmony will also share some memorable moments from the stage from the last few years for your enjoyment!
Although there is no cost to watch the show, we hope you’ll consider supporting the programs of the Hartford, CT Chapter and the Barbershop Harmony Society with a $10 suggested donation. Go to give.barbershop.org/hartford to make your gift.
The virtual show will premiere on the BHS YouTube channel. Click the link here to access the show. And don’t worry if you miss it -- it will be archived and available for delayed viewing on the BHS YouTube channel.

Dig into the video vault with Barbershop Live @ Home
Variety in programming a good chapter meeting should include a taste of everything you love in barbershop: some singing, some learning—and of course, hearing the great sound of perfect harmony.
The BHS YouTube Channel offers thousands of great performances to share and view together, including this never-before-released video that premiered on our recent Barbershop Live @ Home virtual chapter meeting. The Side Street Ramblers’ 1983 championship performance of “Put Your Arms Around Me, Honey” showcases the quartet’s precision and mastery of meter, not to mention pure chord-ringing power. (That intro! Those bell chords!)
For more deep dives into the Harmony Hall vault— plus vocal instruction, celebrity teachers and quartets, and more fun— join us for our next Barbershop Live @ Home event on Sunday, December 6, 7:00pm Central.
