Chapters seeking directors!

Are you someone with musical leadership skills looking to hone your directing abilities with a group passionate about singing? Look no further! Rittenhouse Sound, the Harbor City Chorus (Baltimore), and Bryn Mawr Mainliners are M-AD chapters now seeking front line directors.

Rittenhouse Sound

Link: Online Application

Contact: James Lamb

Chapter information:

Founded in 2014, Rittenhouse Sound has continually served as a harmonious haven where dedicated individuals come together to create, inspire, and share the transformative power of music. Our repertoire, ranging from barbershop to contemporary pieces, reflects our commitment to musical excellence and community engagement. The passing of our esteemed previous director, Eric Englehardt, has deeply moved us, reinforcing our collective resolve to honor his legacy by ushering in a vibrant era of continued growth and profound musical expression.

We invite interested candidates to submit their applications, which may include any documents that you wish to include (i.e., a resume, CV, Letters of Recommendation, etc.). This comprehensive approach ensures a process where both the candidates and our Director Search Team explore the potential for a mutually rewarding future.

Harbor City Chorus

Chapter information:

We are a Men’s Barbershop Chorus in Baltimore, MD, formed in 1944..  We meet on Monday nights at 7:30.  Our philosophy is simply this: all men who like to sing are welcome to join us in harmony.  Be part of a group that provides a fun, friendly, environment.  Our chorus provide musical instruction, plenty of opportunities for quartetting, and chances to perform in the community

Bryn Mawr Mainliners

Contact: Director Search
or
Jeff Porter: 610-202-7676

Chapter information:

The Mainliners Chorus was founded in 1963 as the Bryn Mawr Chapter. After 30 years, Rick Serpico, our
front line musical director, has decided to retire. Backed by a strong music leadership team including Bill
Oppenheim and Doug Pratt as Associate Directors, the Mainliners are looking for a new, energetic front-
line director to take us into the next decade and beyond.
We are a dedicated, smaller, TTBB chorus with big chorus roots, having performed on the Barbershop
Harmony Society’s international stage four times in the last 60 years. A two-time Mid-Atlantic District
chorus champion, we have won the MAD Central Division first place AAA chorus many times in the last
few years. Our membership, while comfortable in competition, really has their hearts in performing for
folks in our community to share our love for men’s a cappella music. Each year we put on both a Spring
Show and a Christmas show. We are the longest standing act that performs at Delaware County’s huge
summer concert festival at Rose Tree Park. In 2023, we had nearly 20 outside performances in our
community, not including performances from our chapter quartets.
Our repertoire spans the decades from traditional barbershop songs, show tunes, pop songs, gospel and
religious numbers, patriotic songs, and more. Our songs are highly recognizable and entertaining.
We rehearse in the western Philadelphia suburbs (called the “mainline” of Philadelphia) at St. Paul’s
Episcopal Church, 1105 E Lincoln Hwy, Exton, PA 19341 every Monday from 7-10pm.
