Thank you to everyone who attended our Christmas Show on Dec 8 & 9. We were thrilled to have such a wonderful audience. May your hearts be full of song and joy over the holidays and throughout the upcoming year!

Thanks also to all our guest singers who joined the chorus this year, and to our fantastic special guests, Polaris Quartet and Scott McClelland!

On Friday, March 24th, FourTune Quartet entertained guests at the 50's JukeBox Jam. Algonquin College Event Management Students paired up with the Children's Wish Foundation to grant a wish for a child diagnosed with a life-threatening condition. The 50s Jukebox Jam was a successful fundraiser and included a fun evening of classic 50's games, silent auction, and a diner-style dinner, not to mention the dulcet tones of a Barbershop Quartet.

Members of the chorus made their annual pilgrimage to Camp Smitty, a summer camp run by the Boys & Girls Club of Ottawa. After two days of construction and yard work, singing O Canada for Olympian Melissa Bishop at her Eganville homecoming parade, and much laughter, song, bonfires, and great food, these weary barbershoppers have returned home for a rest.

Thank you to everyone who came to see our Christmas Show on Dec 11 & 12 at the beautiful Dominion Chalmers in Ottawa's downtown. We'd love to hear what you thought! [email protected].

Thank you also and congrats to all our guest men and women singers, and a big shout-out to the Béatrice-Desloges Jazz Band lead by the talented Richard Hardy!

Wishing you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
