Sounds Of Concord

The Sounds of Concord, entertaining audiences for over 35 years, is one of New England?s top-ranked male vocal ensembles. Our singing is primarily in the barbershop style, that original American musical form combining four-part close harmony with rich melodic sound and lots of emotion. The repertoire includes ballads sung from the heart as well as toe-tappers and swing melodies that instantly put a smile on your face. Our songs range from traditional barbershop to tunes from stage and screen, gospel songs and spirituals, folk tunes, and patriotic songs. And our performances are usually punctuated by choreography, so you?re not just seeing a bunch of guys standing on risers reading sheet music!

The Sounds of Concord (or simply SOC) performs at civic and private functions all around the Boston area. We?ve sung at anniversaries, birthdays and block parties, larger scale events such as local business, town and church functions, and even big industry conventions. Our Christmas caroling, special Singing Valentines and Annual Show are seasonal specialties. SOC also entertains senior citizens and hospital patients at facilities around the area.

In addition to our many performances, SOC regularly competes against other barbershop choruses at fun local and regional conventions. We have competed eight times at the International level after winning first place honors at the District contest.

• They were extremely talented, not to mention personable, accommodating, and very professional. We would definitely consider hiring them again for future events. -- Katharine M, Canton, MA, 7/21/2007
• They did an exceptional job delivering a broadway themed performance at our event. In addition to the beautiful songs, they included summaries about the musicals from which the songs were taken, and described the significance of the songs. The guests were very impressed, as were we. One particularly moving song they performed was Bring Him Home from Les Mis. It's a skill for singers to make you feel the words of a song - for them it seemed easy. Great job! -- Maggie L, Newport, RI, 6/5/2008
