numbers just shy of 100 members, drawing from all over Northern California
and Nevada, from brand new barbershop harmony singers to seasoned veterans
of the music form. American River Chorus was formed in Sacramento in 2009
and is ofcially known as the California Delta Chapter of the Barbershop Har-
mony Society (BHS). ARC has twice won the BHS Far Western Districts NorCal
East Division Competition.
The mission of the American River Chorus is to create harmony as a male
singing ensemble through performance, fraternity, personal growth, and shared
musical experiences of the highest caliber. Our vision of harmony includes sing-
ing a cappella music primarily in the barbershop style.
