Nelson Bays Harmony is a group of women who sing for pleasure and perform with passion! The chorus has over 40 singers of all ages and backgrounds, and we are ready to welcome more!
We sing unaccompanied 4-part harmony, barbershop style. Barbershop music is arranged to produce beautiful ringing chords that are a buzz to sing and to listen to! Our repertoire includes well-known ballads, barbershop classics and modern a cappella songs, and numerous Christmas carols! Read about booking us to sing at your event!
