CHAPTER QUARTETS
For many members of the Golden Chordsmen Chorus,
quarteting is what it's all about. As a member of a barbershop quartet, you have the
opportunity to sing for a wide variety of audiences, experience venues large and small,
and undertake an incredible musical voyage. Below is a list of our active quartets. Please
feel free to contact them for more information regarding their repertoire, fees and
availability for your event.
HARLEQUIN
Winnipeg's premier quartet, HARLEQUIN, has been entertaining audiences with
their warm, mellow chords since 1998. For an unprecedented 8th year in a row,
they were presented with the Golden Chordsmen's Quartet of the Year Award.
HARLEQUIN actively performs at banquets, dinners, fundraisers, sports events
and celebrations of all kinds. They enjoy singing a variety of musical styles,
including contemporary, patriotic, inspirational, doo-wop, and traditional Barbershop
tunes. Call Larry at 488-2242 or
email Larry for information.
Rob Smith (Tenor), Larry Hunter (Lead), Herold Driedger (Bass), Paul Bullock (Baritone)
FOUR OLDE TIMES SAKE
Land of Lakes District - Seniors Quartet Champion. This quartet was put together to form a "seniors" quartet for the 2007 Land of Lakes
Spring Competition from two of Harlequin's "seniors" (Rob Smith and Herold Driedger),
a multi talented composer/baritone (Ted Greenhalgh) and an aspiring lead (Geoff Taylor)
with a mellow voice. The combination yields a warm, casual sound. Geoff typically sits
on a bar stool, Perry Como style, and this adds to their relaxed sound. Call Geoff at 488-0912 or
email Geoff for information.
Rob Smith (Tenor), Geoff Taylor (Lead), Herold Driedger (Bass), Ted Greenhalgh (Baritone)
TEMPO
This foursome formed their quartet in the fall of 2005 to participate in the Winnipeg Golden
Chordsmen Chorus's Christmas Serenade. They enjoyed the sounds of their close harmony, so in
January of 2006 they registered as TEMPO. They specialize in performing familiar Barbershop
tunes at private venues like anniversaries, weddings and birthday parties. They would welcome
the opportunity to sing at your special occasion. Call Gordon at 257-7727 or
email Gordon for information.
