The Sounds of Concord is a dynamic men's barbershop chorus based in the Boston area. Drawing singers from cities and towns throughout Eastern Massachusetts, the "Sounds" are focused on fun through musical growth and excellence, both at our weekly rehearsals in Lexington and our numerous performances throughout the area.
We are actively seeking singers in all voice parts. We have doubled our size in two years and would love to add even more singers! We're singing better and having more fun than we have in years. Come grow with us.
Come to a rehearsal and check us out!
