The Atlantic Harmony Brigade is a special event for highly motivated men who actively quartet and want to build their repertory and a large network of other committed singers. Sixteen weeks prior to this invitational, weekend long event 100 selected men (25 per voice part) receive a package of 12 challenging and exciting songs (and learning CDs). They are required to independently study their part and agree only to attend the event fully prepared to sing each song accurately. They are assigned a random quartet at the start of the event and immediately compete in a fully adjudicated contest. Most of the weekend, however, is spent mixing it up in hundreds (potentially thousands) of informal but well prepared, random quartet combinations.

This year, men from all over the eastern seaboard (and a couple from as far as Fla. & Tx) will be gathering in Wilmington, Delaware, for the inauguration of an Atlantic Harmony Brigade. Two other Brigades exist; one in North Carolina (now in it's 13th year) and one in Indiana.
The weekend is capped off with a 100-man chorus and quartet show that is open to the public. It will be held on Saturday, August 19th at 7:30 PM in Wilmington DE. For a show info and a ticket order form click here.

In fact, the Big Apple Chorus is a small part of an amazing, expansive and tremendously supportive organization filled with talent, tools, resources and opportunities for the avocational male singer of every age. It's a little hard to get your arms around just how vast (yes, vast) the opportunities are in just a few casual, Monday night visits. Full Story...
