Capital Force is a new, educationally-focused youth chorus based out of Alexandria, VA.

Through this venture, we hope:

• to introduce barbershop harmony to young men with no prior exposure to it,
• to encourage participation amongst those who may not have the time to regularly commit to an existing Barbershop Harmony Society (BHS) chapter, and
• to cultivate organizational and musical leadership skills in young men who are actively involved in established BHS chapters.

Although our chorus rehearses in the Washington, DC, area, our members hail from as far as Norfolk, VA, and Baltimore, MD.

Our members span the gamut of singing experience, ranging from those who have only begun singing in the past few months to those who have bachelors and masters degrees in music education and vocal pedagogy. In terms of age, our singers range from 11 years old to 30 years young.

As a new chorus, Capital Force has been extremely blessed to receive financial sponsorship as well as organizational support from the following choruses:

• Alexandria Harmonizers (Alexandria, VA)
• Capital Singing Chorus (Washington, DC)
• Chorus of the Chesapeake (Dundalk, MD)
