About Barbershop Music

The Cayuga Chimes is an intergenerational women's a cappella barbershop style chorus from Ithaca, New York. Our director is Eric Bean. The Chimes were first organized in 1977, and in 1986 we were named the "Official Voices of Ithaca." We have performed in many locations on many occasions, from the New York State Fair to the Concord Resort (for an Elks State Convention) to the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Montreal, Canada.

We hold regular sing-outs at nursing homes and other senior citizen facilities, at festivals and parades, and at weddings and other private parties, where we are met with enthusiasm and appreciation. We present one show a year at a local theater. In the summer of 1995 we recorded our first compact disc and tape, which are for sale in local shops (listen to samples here).
