Harbourtown Sound
We are an award-winning, volunteer-based auditioned men’s chorus, offering a wide range of a capella music---barbershop, inspirational, jazz, pop, soft rock---all designed to both bring back fond memories and to create memorable new ones.
Representing the Hamilton chapter of the Ontario District of the Barbershop Harmony Society, we have been entertaining at home and abroad since 2003. As a not-for-profit community group, we seek to promote a love of singing and an appreciation for choral music.
Under the direction of Jordan Travis we are always eager to support our community by, volunteering to perform at district events as well as presenting our own concerts in the Burlington Performing Arts Centre several times a year.

Under conductor Harvey Patterson, this dynamic 35-voice women’s chorus memorizes, stages and performs a sparkling repertoire of pop, show, folk, jazz and light classical music. Our accompanist is the renowned pianist Bruce Harvey. The group proudly presents “As Long as I Have Music” on May 6th. Special guest is vocalist Emily Parker, winner of the 2017 scholarship presented by The Harmony Singers each year to an outstanding graduate of the music theatre program at Etobicoke School of the Arts. The group has sung at a Blue Jays game and were part of a recent Festival of Friends choral concert in Mississauga. There are a few openings for new members who will receive a warm welcome! Rehearsals are Monday evenings from September to June at Martin Grove United Church.
The extensive and active music program at Islington, under the direction of Jason Locke and assisted by many talented and committed musicians including two music associates, includes the Junior (grades 1 to 6), Youth (grades 7 to 12), and Senior choirs, along with two handbell choirs, chimes, string and brass ensembles. Supported by a magnificent Schoenstein organ and grand piano, music rings through the neo-Gothic sanctuary for two morning services each Sunday and numerous special services, events and concerts. The accomplished Senior choir, with 25 to 30 talented singers enriched by section leaders, is attentive to musical detail and expressiveness to enhance worship, singing Renaissance to 21st century, a cappella to orchestral accompaniment, spirituals to Bach cantatas.
