Laurel Harmony holds barbershop music open house

In celebration of Barbershop Music Appreciation Day, the Laurel Harmony chapter of Sweet Adelines will hold an open house to share its singing style with the public.

The Greensburg-based group’s members will demonstrate their a cappella four-part harmony of barbershop-style singing from 7:30-9 p.m. July 11 at Trinity United Church of Christ, 139 N. Main St., Greensburg.

Women of all ages are welcome to sing with the chorus, members state.

According to Sweet Adelines International, the singing style has its roots in African-American improvisational singing of the 1800s.

Founded in Tulsa, Okla., on July 13, 1945, Sweet Adelines International is committed to advancing a cappella singing in the barbershop style through opportunities in education, performance and competition.
