SPIRIT OF ST. LOUIS CHORUS

St. Louis #1 Chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society

About Us

Who Are We?

Our chorus is the largest male singing ensemble in Jefferson County, with over 30 active members. We represent the St. Louis #1 Chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society. Founded in 1938, we are proud to be the third oldest of over 600 chapters.

Where Do We Sing?

Our two major performances each year include our Spring Show and our Christmas Show, which are held in Jefferson County. We are available to sing in Jefferson and St. Louis Counties.

What Is the Goal of Our Chorus?

The goal of our chorus is to preserve the art of singing in four-part harmony, and share our love for barbershop through performances. Through hard work on music, impromptu quartets, and just having fun, our chorus has thrived for many years!

Why Do We Sing?

Our mission is to encourage men to sing while preserving the art of harmony, especially in the Barbershop style. We enjoy sharing our love of harmony, and connecting with our audiences through performances and song.

When Do We Meet?

The chorus meets every Tuesday evening from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. in the Band Room of the Fine Arts Building at Jefferson Community College in Hillsboro, Missouri. Find out more information about our practices and how you can join the chorus on our Rehearsals page.

Is Barbershop Singing Difficult?

Audiences often think our singing seems challenging. In reality, any guy who enjoys singing has the skills needed to join our chorus. Come to any Tuesday rehearsal and see for yourself!
