The Central Carolina Chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society is home to Heart of Carolina A Cappella, founded in 2005. The group sings 4-8 part a cappella harmony in a number of styles including barbershop, jazz, pop, and even contemporary classical a cappella works by Eric Whitacre, Ola Gjeilo and others. In addition to the flagship mixed chorus, there is also Melodiam, our treble clef ensemble, and Concordia, our bass clef ensemble. Members are from throughout the Triangle area; the group is open to anyone of good character with superb singing skills and a desire to perform in public and in competition.
The Common Woman Chorus' mission is to cultivate connection and change through the healing power of music. Founded in 1983, we are a treble chorus made up of woman-identifying, gender-nonconforming, and transgender individuals. We are an LGBTQ+ centered space and a place for queer joy. We are people always seeking and working toward justice. We believe in the power of our collective voices. The chorus performs two concerts per year and other outreach performances in the community. CWC is a member of Sister Singers Network and GALA Choruses.
Founded in 1987, the Durham Community Chorale is a community choral group that gives people who have a love for singing an opportunity to perform a variety of choral music. There is a Holiday concert and a spring concert each year.
Vox is a community men’s ensemble. The group focuses on traditional men’s glee club repertoire with a dual emphasis on musical excellence and camaraderie.
100 Men in Black, Inc., is an all-male, independent, community-based ensemble with open membership to all within the Triangle and surrounding areas. The group is comprised of males representative of all age groups, ethnicities and walks of life…who love to sing and share the “good news of the gospel” through music.
