La Crosse Coulee Chordsmen Spring Concert
Cappella Performing Arts Center
The Coulee Chordsmen Chorus has a long history of music in western Wisconsin and the Midwest. In 1947, founders of the chapter and chorus were men who liked to sing. To this day, the Chordsmen like to sing. It’s our hobby. It’s our passion. It’s fun!
The chorus participates in two contests each year and has performed twice in national contests in Columbus, Ohio. The chorus is a frequent winner of regional contests, and our quartets have won numerous contests.
Performers
Since 1947, the Coulee Chordsmen have introduced and sustained barbershop a cappella singing to audiences throughout western Wisconsin.
Each year, the chorus presents 12 to 15 performances in churches, schools, business events, and fundraisers. While barbershop harmony is our focus, gospel, jazz, do wop, country, and folk music are also a part of our repertoire.
Singing is our hobby. We rehearse every week. We value the joy of singing and ringing chords in four-part harmony. Fellowship and friendships are important to us as a non-profit organization. Service to others through our music is a key aspect of our many programs.
