The Dukes of Harmony are a barbershop chorus of 40 men, of which 25 are in the performing chorus. Started in 1954, the Dukes have had a proud tradition of excellence in competing at the Ontario and international level as well as providing some of the best shows around. The Dukes have a rich history including two international gold medals (Canada's first!). 

The Chorus performs publicly throughout the year, usually in the evenings or on weekends. Engagements include barbershop shows, commercial bookings and specialty events. We meet on Tuesday evenings at the West Rouge Community Centre at 7:30pm in Scarborough. 

The Dukes love to compete and entertain audiences. As our Music Director says “you don’t have to have special skills or read music. All you need is a love for music and a love for singing. All the rest is just details“.

The long range mission of the Scarborough chapter is to:
 
I) Foster fellowship and to enjoy the camaraderie of all male barbershop singing and the intricacies of 4-part a capella close harmony through rehearsal, performance and competition;
 
II) Develop the talents of the chorus members, both individually and collectively, and to continue to be a vital chapter in the activities of the Ontario District of the Barbershop Harmony Society.

III) Create a hybrid fun and learning environment designed to grow our membership while striving to achieve excellence in singing and performances through a constant improvement process supported by a variety of learning tools.
