Ontario Quartetting Event

Does summer seem to be a long way away? Why not learn some music during the next few months while we wait for summer.

The Ontario Quarteting Event is back again on August 10, 2024 at Harmony ranch.

Whether you are active in a quartet or not, this is a great way to create wonderful Barbershop harmonies with folks from all over Ontario and beyond.

We have selected 8 wonderful songs and one special song to sing as a chorus. Click here to get a document showing the ranges for the voice parts on each song.
