About The White Rose Chorus

The White Rose Chorus is the York, PA chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society. The chapter was founded in 1945 as the York Chapter, SPEBSQSA, Inc. and is one of over 750 chapters in North America.

Performance

The chorus performs around the community in senior care facilities. We have performed festivals including Wingstock and Christmas Magic, appeared on the Culture and Main television show, and sang the National Anthem for the York Revolution from 2013 to 2018. We compete in the Central Division of the Mid-Atlantic District in regional contests against other chapters. The Chorus won the "Most Improved Chorus" Award in 2018 and advanced to the "AA" plateau for the first time. The plateau system was established in 2006.

Quartets

SUNNY 4CAST formed in December of 2015 mainly to perform as part of the chapter's "Singing Valentines" fundraiser. The quartet participated in the 2016 Central Division quartet contest.

Luck of the Draw formed in 2019 and provides the White Rose Chorus with another quality chapter quartet. This marks the first time the chapter has had 2 registerred quarets in more than 20 years.The quartet has 3 seasoned barbershoppers and a relative newcomer and will be competing head to head with Sunny 4Cast in the 2019 Central Division Quartet competition.
