Annual Spring Show,
Carpenter Performing Arts Center - Long Beach

Posted by Cecil Gatch

I attended the MOH show Sunday afternoon at the Carpenter Performing Arts Center. I have attended several MOH shows and even a few of the rehearsals. This is the first time I was able to bring 9 guests with me that had never been to a MOH concert before. I invited them specifically because I know they love quality music no matter what the style happens to be, and they are very good musicians and very discerning in their musical taste. They all loved the show very, very much. Among my guest was the widow of Leo Fender, Phyllis Fender. She loves to hear men sing and she felt this is one of the best concerts she has ever attended. Alan Greenberg is the one that introduced me to MOH and I am very glad he did. I will continue to introduce as many people as I can to MOH. Thank you for a great performance and good luck in Nashville.

Excellent, will do it again. The big highlight of the night was the guy near the end, singing, playing the harmonica and playing the saxaphone, he stole the show. He could do a one man show and draw a crowd.

A few weeks ago, I received an ad in my Inbox... Masters of Harmony at the Fox Performing Arts Center in Riverside. I had never heard of the group, so I visited their web site for more info, and learned that they are a men's chorus of about 75 members, rooted in barbershop quartet singing. I figured that their holiday show would either be really good or really bad; I was willing to take my chances. I invited some friends and bought the tickets.

To our collective delight, the show was marvelous! The Masters of Harmony performed three sets of choral works that ranged in style from calypso to country, from sacred to secular, and everything in between! A guest soloist was featured in the first and third sets, and a vocal jazz quartet performed following intermission. Soloists and a vocal septet of Masters members were featured throughout the show, as was Masterpiece, an internationally renowned barbershop quartet. The show closed with a joyous "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," as Masters members played drums, piano & sax.

The Masters of Harmony could have gone on singing for hours, with no complaint from this audience. Well done guys! See you next year!!

Favorite moment: The final note of "Mary, Did You Know?" resonated richly and faded wondrously into silence, as we held our breath and wiped tears from our cheeks.

Excellent show! Enjoyed the beautiful venue and wonderful music. It was nice to be able to walk to the Mission Inn afterward to view the lights and have dinner. Certainly put me in the Christmas spirit. Would highly recommend.

Favorite moment: Les on the sax!

The venue is beautiful as well as the music. Had a great time.

I attended the Christmas show on Saturday afternoon in Pasadena. Wow...what a show! Thank you for making my Christmas season special. Can't wait until next year... I am bringing the entire family.

Posted by Beverly Bodkin, Lomita

The singing was absolutely splendid. The only problem was that it came to an end before we had our fill, which may be never. And it was nice so hear all Christmas music at a Christmas show. Plus all the old familiar pieces. Ah, such a treat!

Posted by Charlotte Guyaux, Riverside

What a wonderful evening! What a treat to hear your voices and personalities too! I was so happy to be in the audience. You truly represent some of the music that has made our country GREAT! You are a handsome, clean cut group of men. Thank you for being in the foyer following the program as it was nice to shake hands of some of the "Masters". May you continue to reflect some of the tradition that has made The United States a great nation and an example to the world. Thank you ~ thank you ~ thank you from the bottom of my heart! God Bless YOU ALL!

I had no idea what I was getting into. I just figured it would be a nice Christmas choir to take my mother to, to get us into the Christmas spirit. These men are so full of energy. There are costume and scene changes. They break into smaller groups for some numbers. They truly look like they are enjoying themselves, which made it fun for us. Oh, and they can sing!!! I will definitely see them again.

Favorite moment: I liked the barber shop quartet with the added human beat box.

Posted by Snuzw

Great group. They included the audience in some numbers, and the harmony, singing and overall talent was very good. They put on a very entertaining show. Also, the venue, the old Fox theater was beautiful.

Posted by Elise Olson

WOW!!! I wish there were words to describe the emotions I felt as I sat in the audiance watching and listening to the performance in front of me. When the chorus began to sing it blew me away as I could feel the vibration as it touched my soul. My experience the first time will be etched in my memory for the rest of my life. I hope to attend more performances in the future and now I can say I am a huge fan of your chorus. Thanks for the amazing entertainment!

Highly enjoyable show; loved their new direction (less barbershop - more choral). Good mix of both small and large ensembles.

This was a great event and would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves music.

We have never heard the Masters of Harmony live and were truly amazed at their complex harmony, flawless blending and precision singling. Even more amazing was the way the singers were positioned with singers mixed rather than in single part sections. Would love to hear them again.

My family and friends and I (14 total) attended your matinee show at the Ambassador Auditorium last Saturday and we were all thrilled with your chorus's performance. The quartets, especially Crossroads, were beyond exciting. My guests, unaquainted with barbershop singing, couldn't believe the quality of the program, one friend telling me that your show was the finest concert he'd ever attended. We were in awe... I still am, and I have been a barbershopper for forty years. On behalf of my guests and myself, thanks for a great show.

My wife and I attended your matinee show at The Carpenter today. It was excellent - and - you deserve great praise for the Christmas Program which wasn't afraid to honor the reason for Christmas - Christ. The presentation of "Mary, Did You Know" was breathtaking. The Masters are an outstanding group and we are both delighted that we were able to attend the performance. Keep up the good work!!!

WOW! WOW! WOW! I come from Bristol in England. We have the Great Western Chorus. They are good, but I have to say you are in a different class. I've enjoyed all music throughout my life. I've even seen Pavorotti live before he passed away. However, I have never been so excited by such a performance as you gave in the internatinal competition. It made me cry, I was so moved. The perfect pitch/harmony, choreography, presentation/dress, projection, personality and professionalism are unmatched by anything I've ever seen before! When are you guys coming to England? Simply unmatched by anything I've ever seen before. Good luck and God bless you all for providing sensational entertainment!

The competition in Nashville was thrilling. I really liked the opportunity to visit a rehearsal and experience the intensity, detail, commitment and professionalism that result in such powerful performances. I find myself singing "Yona" every day. :-) I'm proud to be a supporter of Masters of Harmony, and excited to see your next show!

The concert at Disney Hall was absolutely positively without any doubt the very best I've heard the chorus sing. Kudos to everyone. You were all on! really on! I enjoyed every minute of what to me was a real happening. Keep up the fantastic work and get that gold in Nashville! Wow!!

Posted by Peggy

I became deaf at the age of 29 after having heard perfectly until then. I attended the University of Michigan and so I got tickets for my husband (who is not deaf) and myself for the U. of M. Glee club concert at the Disney Hall last Saturday. We did not know that any other group was joining them. I just want to say.. even for a deaf lady...your show was fantastic! My husband, of course, loved the beautiful harmony of your group and I, actually, loved the movements and way that you expressed the meaning of the songs..most of which I had heard in the past. Thank you for a very memorable afternoon. I think I even "felt" the vibes many times from your fantastic harmony in that beautiful concert hall.

I just saw you perform for the first time in Long Beach. PHENOMENAL! I'm a long-time Sweet Adeline that used to follow the Sidewinders quartet from Riverside all over the country, so I know good barbershop. Your chorus is wonderful - the best I've ever heard. I am looking forward to your May show. Thanks for a memorable, fantastic time.

WOW! Just a note to congratulate you on a wonderful Christmas show. How it can get better each year is a mystery to me, but it does! We were delighted! We felt like giving you all the generous applause and recognition that you so well deserve, but the curtain came down too soon. You would have seen an enthusiastic standing "O". Well done! Thank you, Champs!

I didn't get a chance to talk to you yesterday, but I thought it was wonderful. I never expected the choreography and movement, the great variety of songs and styles, and the true beauty of the music. I appreciated the humor that was present, marveled at the talent of the young quartets, was amazed at the age range of your group AND the obvious dedication and commitment all of you have made to be able to perform this way, and thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon. I forwarded your note to my sister and brother-in-law, as I know they would enjoy your performance as well.

Posted by John Hulbert, Poway, CA

It was magnificent as always. I have seen the MOH on numerous occasions since their inception and they are always wonderful. This one was particularly good because the stage was small and the singers were very confined. All things considered, it was one of their best. A large number of the Who's Who of barbershopping in SD were there and gave the Masters several standing Os, a tribute to the quality of the performance!!

Posted by Argie and Ted

Just saw your show for the first time and both my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed your spectacular performance. We will try to see more if we possibly can. You received standing ovations and you really deserved it.

I had the pleasure of hearing you sing here in Indy last year, and was really impressed with your arrangement of: "Go Down Moses". If it is to appear in a future concert, I would willingly fly to California, just to hear that number, I was that impressed.

It was truly incredible! You guys are really what the name states ---MASTERS--- OF HARMONY! Congratulations again!

Posted by Don Gooding, A-Cappella.com

Realtime and Masters of Harmony got their golds in part because they know how to make barbershop ballads compelling. They chose great songs, then used incredible nuance in dynamics to convey emotion. Their ballads kept me on the edge of my seat.

Congratulations on your 6th International Chorus Championship! Thank you for your great singing, perfomances, albums. Keep the great singing, and inspiration!

Posted by Bill Roth, Bangkok, Thailand

I think I can speak for all of the emeritus members in saying how extremely proud we continue to be of the chorus and each of you. On Friday afternoon I asked Dr. Paul Laemmle (1990 & 1991 president) how he felt about the MOH, and he said it was like being a proud grandfather! It's such a thrill to see one's "progeny" grow and go on to achieve great success. As a charter member I had hopes of the chapter becoming really good one day, but it has, time and again, continued to far exceed the founders' most wildest dreams!

Some non-barbershop friends (who had seen the MOH win their first three golds) said they had listened to the audio portion of the webcast and commented that when the MOH sang it was "a thousand percent better" then any of the preceding choruses. I specifically asked about their ability to understand the words to the uptune, particularly during the fast portions. They said that every word was completely understandable--crystal clear!

Thank you for allowing us to visit your rehearsal at the Hilton Bonaventure. We were surprised and deeply moved by your perfect sounds and choreography. Especially, it was miraculous that you had mastered new choreography within about 30 minutes after first direction by music director (female choreographer and her mother). [Editor's note: Erin Howden and June Dale, of course.] After our singing on the World Harmony Jamboree show, we learned how to sing a song for the audience by your performance. Anyway we are very happy so that we could spend that time with you. Thank you very much indeed. If you or anyone of your chorus have a chance to travel to Tokyo, please make contact with us.

Posted by Fred Stevens, Courtice, Ontario, Canada

I sing for the Megacity chorus, Greater Toronto Chapter. I would like to thank you for giving our chorus the time to present our songs in front of your chorus. It was my first time I have ever appeared at an international convention. I was so thrilled to sing for you in Montreal. It was so kind of you to also send a representative to our practice with words of encouragement. Tell that British guy to keep up the good work, and to keep on promoting the British Empire, which we now call the commonweath.
