Mighty River Harmony Wants Singers
We are a men’s chorus that sings in close four-part harmony without accompaniment. We embrace a wide range of song types from Beatles to Eagles and Elvis to Coldplay along with some Kiwi music. Sometimes we sing in the traditional barbershop style; often we use modern arrangements of popular songs.
Mighty River Harmony is part of Barbershop Harmony NZ and one of twelve Kiwi choruses that are affiliated to Barbershop Harmony International. Newcomers are very welcome and at present we are particularly looking for melody singers (tenor range). Full training and support are available. We strongly value our fellowship and sense of fun, and love to sing to audiences large and small. If you are interested, talk to us!
