In early 2015 they decided to get together as a separate quartet, (having all been members of previous quartets) and the current Hearts In Harmony began. They have performed all over the local tri-state area in festivals, church services and events, community celebrations, and senior living and retirement communities. They have also been invited to perform in other Barbershop Music venues and shows, both men’s and women’s. Christmas is just about their favorite season to perform!
