Time to get your tickets for the 65th Annual Barbershop Harmony Festival happening August 24, 2014 at Chautauqua.

For the 65th consecutive year, the Boulder Timberliners Barbershop Chorus will host a fun-filled evening of Barbershop singing at Chautauqua Auditorium. There will be over 250 barbershoppers on stage for the mass chorus presentations as well as performances by individual choruses including the International Medal winning chorus Sound of the Rockies, the Boulder Timberliners, the Longmont Long’s Peak Chorus, The Mountain Aires, and High Country Women’s Chorus. Our featured group is the CU Buffoons.

The barbershop-style a-capella music is a uniquely American musical art form. It is known for its four-part harmony and the “expanded sound” created by its unique chord structure. Sharing roots with gospel and jazz, it is part of the continuum of American music.
