Send a Singing Valentine

Valentine's Day doesn't wait for the snow to clear - it's coming whether you're ready or not. Still haven't done your shopping? No problem. Give the gift of music with a Singing Valentine from the Heart of Maryland Chorus. We'll send a quartet to your home, business, restaurant or wherever to serenade your sweetheart. Order now to reserve yours.

Love Songs at the Mall

We will sing a selection of the songs performed by our singing valentines quartets. Sign up to win a free singing valentine! The show starts at 11:00 at the Lord & Taylor's court.

Happy New Year

This year marks the beginning of the fifty-first year for the Heart of Maryland Barbershop Chorus. We can look back to contests, including Mid Atlantic Division wins, an International Contest appearance in Toronto, and two great showings at the Buckeye Invitational. We’ve had annual shows, charity fundraisers, and have served enough spaghetti and lasagna to feed an army. The chorus has sung all around the area - the National Anthem for Baltimore’s sports teams, Flag Day performances at Fort McHenry, and Christmas carols at the Inner Harbor. We’ve sung for local and nationally-known celebrities and have given free shows at local parks and several million (give or take a few) performances at senior centers.

This is only part of who we are. The chorus is more than just performances and contests. It’s also fifty years of fun and fraternity. Men who may have otherwise never met have formed lifelong friendships as we’ve learned and shared our music. We’ve formed quartets and traveled together. We’ve seen the big events come and go – births, graduations, weddings, and have sung at more funerals than we’d like. But even as we’ve lost long-time members, new men have stepped into their places, each one welcomed to share our joy in ringing a chord and seeing the smiles of an appreciative audience.

The next half-century starts today and we’ve ready to get started. Our Director, Kevin King, is still helping us move forward and teaching from his seemingly limitless knowledge of music. Already this year, we have plans for two contests, a dinner show, and two days of Singing Valentines.

Come join us on a Tuesday night and find out how you can be part of the next fifty years of the Heart of Maryland.

Maxx Factor

We have a performance tonight, but we'll be running from there to the nearest TV to cheer on Maxx Factor on The Sing Off. Baltimore and Barbershop are well represented tonight!

Tuba Christmas

We sing today to start off the Tuba Christmas event at the Light Street Pavilion. The chorus sings at 3:00 and the tuba concert starts at 3:30.

Christmas Carols at the Inner Harbor

Santa's House opens at Harborplace today and the chorus will be there to join the festivities. We'll sing carols at 4:30 to get everyone in the holiday spirit. This year we don't even need to worry about making it snow again - the forecast calls for a 60 degree day.

Santa arrives in Baltimore by boat - how cool is that? Be sure to stick around for the tap dancing Santas. More details are on the Harborplace site.

50th Anniversary

This year is the 50th Anniversary for the Heart of Maryland Chorus! Check out this great picture from 1963. Stay tuned for details of the big Golden Anniversary Broadcast show, coming up in October.
