Newfound Sound is the only women’s barbershop chorus in Newfoundland and Labrador. Established in 1985, our chorus has been sharing friendship and song for over 30 years. We are grateful to have been involved in many wonderful fundraisers – raising money for cancer support programs such as Pink Days in Bloom, Daffodil Place and Sing for Care. We have entertained for the Children’s Wish Foundation and the Eating Disorder Foundation Annual Gala. Each year, we look forward to singing carols at the Commissariat House old fashioned Christmas. We have shared our song with the Lieutenant Governor at Government House and even entertained the Queen during one of her visits to our province.

What makes our chorus unique is the singing style. We are proud members of Harmony Incorporated since 1988, whose mission is empowerment for all women through education, friendship and a cappella singing. We have competed in Atlantic and international women’s barbershop contests. Under the energetic and creative direction of Dr. Phil Roberts, we are 25 women who come together every week to blend song with friendship and create a wonderful space for learning and fine tuning our performance craft. Our repertoire covers many genres such as traditional, pop and inspirational.
