Our story
On December 9, 1987, 79 men came to the first rehearsal of the new Masters of Harmony under Dr. Greg Lyne. Thirty-one months later, in San Francisco, they were International champions. The bar has stayed there ever since.

A few minutes with the chorus, and gold-medal sets from the International stage.
Sing with us
We rehearse every Wednesday to the standard that won nine gold medals, and every voice in the room started somewhere. Our singers range from their twenties to their eighties. Some have sung all their lives; others hadn’t sung since school.

Your show just blew us away. What a terrific chorus. Pitch, blend, dynamics, choice of music were all superior.

Our singers are volunteers. Gifts pay for our director, coaching, music and rehearsal space, and help younger singers get to District and International competition.
