Barbershop Bonanza celebrates its 17th year in Friday Harbor on Sunday, June 7 at 2:00 p.m. at San Juan Community Theatre.
Directed by Angel Michaels, the Bonanza honors this uniquely American music with contemporary and old-time favorites full of four-part harmonies. The Bonanza is hosted by San Juan’s mixed barbershop chorus, Island Chordsmen Plus and features the island’s local women’s a cappella ensemble, Sound Vibrations.
This year’s visiting groups include a championship women’s a cappella chorus from the Puget Sound area. Pacific Sound Chorus is a part of Sweet Adelines International, an educational, non-profit organization promoting four-part, barbershop singing for women.
Also joining the Bonanza—for the first time—is Canada’s Bons Vivants, a dynamic vocal quartet belonging to the Barbershop Harmony Society.
The Business Partner for the Bonanza is Friday Harbor Drug. All tickets are $18, with festival seating. The SJCT box office is open Tuesdays through Fridays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
