concord
The Sounds of Concord is a dynamic men's barbershop chorus based in the Boston area. Drawing singers from cities and towns throughout Eastern Massachusetts, the "Sounds" are focused on fun through musical growth and excellence, both at our weekly rehearsals in Lexington and our numerous performances throughout the area.
We are actively seeking singers in all voice parts. We have a bunch of new singers now and are learning a lot of new music. Come grow with us, come to a rehearsal and check us out! If you need some more convincing, here are five great reasons.
