The Barbershop Belles are in the process of regrouping. In order to appeal to more singers, they are expanding their repertoire to include a broader range of music, not necessarily barbershop harmony. If you like to sing and have fun in doing so, join them on Fridays from 2:00 until 4:00 p.m. commencing Friday, July 8. For further information, contact Dorothy Richards at 434-973-5713.

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.
