The Dukes of Harmony are a barbershop chorus of 40 men, of which 25
are in the performing chorus. Started in 1954, the Dukes have had a proud
tradition of excellence in competing at the Ontario and international level
as well as providing some of the best shows around.
The Dukes have a rich history including two international gold medals
(Canada's first!).
The long range mission of the Scarborough chapter is to foster fellowship
and to enjoy the camaraderie of all male barbershop singing and the intricacies
of 4-part a capella close harmony through rehearsal, performance and competition;
to develop the talents of the chorus members,
both individually and collectively, and to continue to be a vital chapter
in the activities of
the Ontario District of the Barbershop Harmony Society.
The Chorus performs publicly throughout the year, usually in the evenings
or on weekends. Engagements include barbershop shows, commercial bookings
and specialty events. We meet on Tuesday evenings at the West Rouge Community
Centre at 7:30pm in Scarborough,
The Dukes love to compete and entertain audiences.
As our musical director Rob Arnold says “you don’t have to have special
skills or read music.
All you need is a love for music and a love for singing. All the rest
is just details“.
