About Us!
For more than 60 years, the exciting Capitolaires
men's barbershop harmony chorus and quartets have entertained in
Sacramento.
Our a cappella performances include
the Sacramento Jazz Jubilee, Cabaret shows, Christmas holiday concerts,
and local conventions.
Our annual shows may feature headliners
from the international barbershop harmony community, as well as singing
groups from area schools.
Our repertoire includes show tunes,
jazz, blues, sacred music, gospel and, of course, "the old songs."
Our community services include
performances in retirement and convalescent homes, hospitals, schools,
and anywhere that the joys of this American art form can be experienced
and encouraged for the benefit of others.

Youth In
Harmony Camp
Sept. 26-28
In September each year the
forest near Pollock Pines, California, erupts in four part harmony from
Friday evening until Sunday noon. There may be a few moments of silence
from 3am to 6am, but there are no guarantees.
This is the annual gathering of young men that love
to sing. They come to learn more about this marvelous art form that will
be a joy to them the rest of their lives.
The camp focuses on the barbershop style of
harmony. This is four-part a cappella harmony, with an emphasis on
tuning, which produces those "ringing chords". It is also the
perfect singing style to learn before branching into other vocal
music forms.
A
normal part of every camp are performances and coaching by top quartets,
and camp isn't all work, there is plenty of time for sports, games,
hikes, and eating.
