About Us

Sun Harbor Chorus was founded in 1946 when a group of dedicated singers organized to form a new a cappella chorus. We are part of the Barbershop Harmony Society and are dedicated to high quality singing, fellowship and fun. 
​
Sun Harbor Chorus welcomes men of any age, race, nationality, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation or gender expression to visit us for an open audition. We enjoy meeting singers looking for a place to be part of a wonderful brotherhood filled with music, laughter and camaraderie. Led by director Kathleen Hansen, each rehearsal is a lesson in vocal and performance skills.

Our Vision

The Sun Harbor Chorus aspires to be a dynamic, inclusive, entertaining men's a cappella chorus that encourages quartet singing and brings barbershop harmony to the greater San Diego Community by having fun in the pursuit of musical excellence.

More than music

In addition to our Tuesday night rehearsals, Sun Harbor loves to perform for and serve our community. In combination with other choruses in town, we sponsor a Youth Harmony Day in San Diego. We expect over 100 young singers in 2018.  Singers will come together under the leadership of world-class directors to learn and perform barbershop harmony and modern a cappella. 

Our Director

We are currently searching for our next director.  Please contact us to apply.

Barbershop Harmony

Sun Harbor Chorus has provided a harmonic home for men singing in the barbershop style in San Diego County for over 60 years. 

Barbershop harmony is a style of unaccompanied (a cappella) vocal music characterized by consonant four-part chords for every melody note in a predominantly homophonic​ (the same word sounds at the same time)​ texture. The melody is consistently sung by the lead​ (second tenor)​, with the tenor ​(first tenor) ​harmonizing above the melody, the bass singing the lowest harmonizing notes, and the baritone completing the chord. Occasional brief passages may be sung by fewer than four voice parts.
