Little Lunch Music with The Cape Fear Chordsman

The Cape Fear Chordsmen are celebrating their 35th Anniversary this year. This all-mens chorus was formed as a chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society in April 1988, singing in and around Wilmington throughout the year since then (seen below in December 2022, joined by members of the chapter's new Mixed Chorus, Acapella Spirit). The chorus is under the direction of Bryan Hughes, and our shows are always family friendly, and full of fun!  Come and see this truly American art form, we call Barbershop four part close harmony.

In addition to our Holiday Show, The Chordsmen also sing at various Civic and church functions, send Quartets out for Singing Valentines in February, present the National Anthem at sports events and present an Annual Show each spring/summer.

While the Cape Fear Chordsmen will remain a mens-only chorus, women will soon be joining the Chapter in the new Mixed chorus, Acapella Spirit or in Quartets, if they wish.

This year's Annual Show will be presented on Saturday June 3rd at 2:30pm at the Pine Valley Methodist Church on Shipyard Boulevard. Tickets are $10, and will be available next month. We invite the community to attend!
