A Brief History of Barbershop Singing
Originating in the late 19th century, barbershop singing is a uniquely American musical tradition characterized by a cappella, four-part harmonies. Evolving from informal gatherings in barbershops, this style gained popularity and formalized into an art form with distinctive voice parts – tenor, lead, baritone, and bass. Gem City Chorus Quartet proudly continues this tradition, blending voices in a timeless celebration of harmony.
