Who We Are

The Alliance Chorus formed in 1999 as an all-male ensemble with the objective of performing four-part barbershop harmony at the highest possible level. Many years of historic music-making later, we continue to strive for excellence today in everything we do with renewed values. The Alliance is now the first all-gender barbershop chorus in central Ohio.

Our Mission is to empower exceptional people of All gender identities on their path to discovering their best-singing selves through education, competition, mutual support, and inclusive fellowship.
