This “Made In Westchester’ event features the renowned Westchester-based a cappella group committed to musical excellence since it was founded and chartered in June, 1953.

The Westchester Chordsmen Chorus is a performing arts group, whose mission is to spread the joy and fun of singing around to the community, the country and the world. The Chordsmen’s musical repertoire extends beyond its barbershop style roots to Broadway show tunes, doo-wop, traditional, gospel and contemporary songs arranged in four part a cappella harmony for tenor, lead, baritone and bass singers.

“Welcome to the Neighborhood” is a musical show about how the Westchester Chordsmen bring together the diverse Westchester/Fairfield-area community with a cappella singing. It is the story of who the Chordsmen are, and what they do in the neighborhood, which begins with the song “Welcome to the Neighborhood” with words, music, and arrangement by Chordsmen member Steve Delahanty. The story continues to tell about the Chordmen’s ‘Ready Set Sing,’ ‘Singing Valentines,’ the ‘A Cappella Youth Festival,’ and ‘Holiday Sing Outs’, through songs covering the genres of popular, rock and roll, Broadway shows, motion pictures, barbershop harmony, and classical.

The Chordsmen’s 65 members come from Westchester and surrounding counties in New York, Connecticut, New York City, and Long Island.
