Do you like to sing? If you do, come and join the Barbershop Belles! We are a group of women who enjoy singing in 4-part harmony. We're always looking for new members who might enjoy singing with us.  The belles are meeting at the Senior Center each Friday afternoon from 2:30 until 4:00 in the Craft Room.

After a two month’s hiatus, the Barbershop Belles are reunited, refreshed, and ready to share their melodies throughout the community. The first rehearsal will be on Friday, April 4th. Linda Saunders, the founding director of the group has returned. Some of the original members have remained with us these past ten years and we have welcomed many others through the years. This doesn’t mean we don’t still need new singers. We do.

Barbershop singing is in four parts: lead (sopranos), tenor (high sopranos), baritone (a little high and low), and the foundation of the chord, bass (the very low). We welcome new members who just have a love of singing. We repeat again and again that professional vocalists are not required. If you sing in a church, school chorus, or even in the shower, come by and give us a listen.

We enjoy singing around the Charlottesville community for church groups, nursing homes, assisted living facilities and our own Senior Center activities. We also sing for benefits and charitable functions.

If you would like more information on our group, or you would like to have us sing for your group or organization, please contact Dorothy Richards at (434) 973-5713.
