Masters of Harmony
Founded in 1985 with just a few dozen men, the Masters of Harmony is a 110-member men's chorus, based in Santa Fe Springs, California. Winner of eight consecutive gold medals (1990–2011) in international barbershop chorus competitions, the group possesses a diverse repertoire encompassing not only barbershop music but also classical, jazz, patriotic, sacred, standards and Broadway pops, and sings for various groups and organizations throughout the greater Los Angeles, California metropolitan area.〔http://www.mastersofharmony.org〕 In 2006 it adopted the following as its Mission Statement:
"''The Masters of Harmony is a male musical ensemble, performing primarily in the barbershop style and dedicated to musical excellence. Our mission is to preserve the uniquely American art form known as barbershop harmony, promote fellowship among our members, encourage music appreciation in schools and the community, contribute to musical causes, and support other singing organizations."''〔http://mastersofharmony.org/about_us/〕
==History==
The Masters of Harmony began in the mid-l980s when a small group of barbershop singers from the Pasadena, CA Chapter〔"Chapters" are the legal, non-profit organizational entities at the local level, which are organized into regional "districts" that make up the Barbershop Harmony Society in the United States and Canada. http://barbershop.org/districts.html〕 of the Barbershop Harmony Society (SPEBSQSA, Inc.)〔http://barbershop.org〕 decided to break away and start a new chapter "dedicated to musical excellence," a phrase that became its slogan. The group obtained a chapter license in the spring of 1985 and then its charter at the Far Western District barbershop singing convention in October 1985.〔The Founding of the Masters of Harmony, http://www.mastersofharmony.org/chapter_history_founding/〕 The chapter's original name, Foothill Cities, was derived from the series of towns that ran along the southern base of the San Gabriel Mountains, an area where most of the organizers then lived.〔The Founding of the Masters of Harmony, http://www.mastersofharmony.org/chapter_history_founding/〕 In 1987 the chapter relocated its rehearsals to the Town Center in the City of Santa Fe Springs, CA, and in 1998 changed its official name to that of the Santa Fe Springs, CA Chapter.〔Chapter History in Brief, http://www.mastersofharmony.org/chapter_history/〕 Over the course of its existence, the chorus has been led by four different primary music directors: Dr. Greg Lyne (1987–1996), (Jeff Oxley ) (1998–1999), Mark Hale (2000–2012), and Justin Miller (2012–Present).〔Chorus Directors, http://www.mastersofharmony.org/chapter_history_directors/〕
In 2015 the Masters of Harmony are celebrating their 30th anniversary.〔http://www.mastersofharmony.org/〕
