Our culture is about making life-long friends in music.
Pacific Coast Harmony is an award-winning a cappella ensemble specializing in the unique, Barbershop Harmony art form. We are one of over 900 active chapters worldwide in the Barbershop Harmony Society. PCH sings music that spans the Great American Songbook, Broadway theater and film, popular traditional pieces, and arrangements of contemporary songs.
Pacific Coast Harmony is a mixed gender chorus. After 80 years as a male-only organization, the Barbershop Harmony Society opened its membership to all, giving traditionally all-male chapters the option to invite anyone to officially join their ranks. Pacific Coast Harmony embraced this opportunity in 2019, becoming San Diego County’s first ever all-inclusive Barbershop Harmony Society's Mixed Chorus! We are proud to be pioneers in the field of mixed barbershop, and excited about our future.
We sing in the TTBB range with male and female members from San Diego and Orange Counties. This chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society (BHS) has a long-standing reputation for delighting audiences through exciting harmonies and memorable performances of songs spanning decades and genres
PCH is uniquely composed of dedicated singers – all volunteers – who strive together with a common goal of musical excellence. PCH members enjoy the thrill of singing harmony and bringing the joy of vocal music to enthusiastic audiences of all ages!
We are proud to have qualified to compete at the Barbershop Harmony Society's International Competition in Cleveland in July 2024 -- our first International Competition as a mixed chorus.
