Masters of Harmony
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Masters of Harmony are a 135-member men's barbershop chorus, based in Santa Fe Springs, California. Founded in 1986 with a few dozen men, they rose to stardom under the tutelage of director Dr. Greg Lyne. Placing 4th in their first international competition in Kansas City (1989), they won gold the following year in San Francisco (1990). This began a string of six gold medals, including Calgary in 1993, Salt Lake City in 1996, Anaheim in 1999, Portland, Oregon in 2002, and Salt Lake City again in 2005. Barbershop choruses must sit out for two consecutive years after winning, so the Masters have remained undefeated in competition since 1990. They were directed by Dr. Lyne until 1997, Jeff Oxley of Acoustix directed their fourth gold, and the fifth and six were under the direction of Mark Hale of Michigan Jake.
