About Velvet Harmony

Velvet Harmony was originally formed by six enthusiastic women singers in 1976. The chorus has grown considerably since that time and numbers in its ranks, singers of all ages and from all walks of life.

The chorus sings unaccompanied, four part harmony and regularly enjoys sessions of voice coaching, barbershop craft and tuition by professionals in order to maintain its high standard. As a result of this, Velvet Harmony is in constant demand for both private and charitable functions throughout the year and is proud to be one of the top ten ladies barbershop choruses in the country.

The chorus is affiliated to Making Music (formerly the National Federation of Music Societies), Bromley Arts Council and LABBS, the Ladies Association of British Barbershop Singers. There are now nearly fifty ladies barbershop choruses in England and Wales.
