Our program will include show tunes, doo wop, stirring love ballads, rousing up-tunes, and of course, all those traditional barbershop songs reminiscent of the early 20th Century. Light refreshments will be served.

The Friends of Harmony is an a cappella barbershop chorus from the Buffalo area founded in 1983 through a union of the East Aurora and Amherst, NY chapters. Since our inception, we have strived to provide the finest in a cappella entertainment in Western New York.

Our director, Brett Ransom, brings years of choral directing and performing experience with the Red Blazer Men's Chorus and has quickly established himself as a well-respected leader in the barbershop style of singing. Under Brett's direction, the chorus recently achieved its highest score in competition in more than fourteen years and finished in second place among the top ten choruses in our district. Our award-winning chorus has represented the Seneca Land District at Barbershop Harmony Society international competitions many times over the past forty years.

Through our focus on the Barbershop style of a cappella chorus and quartet singing, we provide educational, musical, charitable, and administrative opportunities to our membership. We maintain an enjoyable and supportive atmosphere, well-suited for people of all backgrounds and good musical singing ability. Our members provide a strong talent base enabling an active performance schedule and a successful competition status within our Society.

We hail primarily from the City of Buffalo and its suburbs and perform all over Western New York. We consist of male and female singers of all ages with varied musical abilities. For more information, our website is www.friendsofharmony.com. We are also on Facebook under the name Friends of Harmony.
