Welcome at The College Barbers!
The College Barbers is a barbershop men's chorus from Apeldoorn, the Netherlands. It was founded in 1989 by teachers of Veluws College, which explains the name. The chorus has about 20 members and is directed by Music Director Maria van den Ham.
The chorus rehearses every week on wednesday night from 8.00 pm in a church hall at Talingweg 41 in Apeldoorn.

Profile of the chorus
The chorus aims at a decent musical level. During rehearsals it concentrates on improvement of the repertoire and on studying new songs. Good practise material (like sheet music and mp3's per voice group) is available. After rehearsals, during 'afterglow', there is much time for social contact. The atmosphere in the choir is excellent.
The choir performs often. Many concerts are on wednesday night (rehearsal night), so the extra time needed is limited.
Sing along ?
The choir can use extra members in all voice groups. You are always welcome to attend a rehearsal.
