The East York Barbershoppers (EYBS) are a 40+ man chorus that sings close four part harmony in the barbershop style.
We rehearse weekly, perform in shows and at community events regularly, and compete annually against other barbershop choruses from all across Ontario (and on occasion Internationally). Our members come from all walks of life and all across Toronto, and even from outside the GTA, but are brought together by a passion for this great hobby of barbershop singing.
We also take great pride in serving our community through music education, outreach performances, and direct support for affiliated charitable organizations such as Harmony Hall Centre for Seniors and Harmonize for Speech.

Ontario Quartet Event 2025
Posted On: Aug 9, 2025
What a packed summer! Another weekend up at the Ranch, starting on Saturday with the OQE: a full day of singing with different people, networking with fellow barbershoppers, and plenty of quality coaching.
The day started off kinda of chilly, but the temperature quickly ramped up. It's impressive seeing all the singers withstand the smoldering heat as the day went on. Everyone came prepared and ready to sing the songs we practiced throughout the summer.
Many props to the organizers for a well ran event. We ended the day with a show and tons of quartet performances, and I even managed to nab a place by the end of it! I had a wonderful time, and am definitely looking forward to next year's event!
Harmony Jamboree 2025
Posted On: Jul 19, 2025
On Saturday, Harmony Ranch hosted the 2nd annual Jamboree!
It's a day for Barbershoppers to come together and fraternize, do some quarteting, and sing some cool arrangements together as a group.
It was my first time up at the Ranch! Having arrived early, I took the time to tour the peaceful, idyllic grounds.
The rest of the day was practicing the group songs, interspered with burgers, hotdogs, and refreshments.
As part of our ongoing celebration of our Chapter's 75th anniversary, the East York Barbershoppers were honored to sing as part of the evening show. We were joined by lots of ex-East Yorkers, and knocked out a pretty good performance.
The rest of the evening carried on with lots of performances from different choruses. I especially enjoyed the performance by the Black River Chorus.
It was a great way to spend the Saturday, and it was fun singing in a new setting than what I'm used to.
