ABOUT OK City Chorus

WHO WE ARE
With a current membership of approximately 70, the OK City Chorus has been educating and entertaining audiences of all ages and all sizes since 1956. Our goal is to preserve and present the chord-ringing, fun-filled genre of Barbershop!

COMPETITION
OK City Chorus participates in an annual regional competition which also qualifies us to compete at the international level. In addition to the actual competition, members get to meet old and new friends, share hugs, eat, laugh, and cry together in amazing cities across the nation and even internationally.
QUARTETS
All members have the opportunity to form quartets which sing at various functions and compete at the regional and international levels. The goal is the coveted international crown.
