At Cincinnati Sound Chorus, we are deeply grateful for the many talented arrangers who bring their artistry to our music. Their creativity allows us to share the joy of barbershop harmony 🎶 in new and exciting ways, enriching our performances and keeping our repertoire fresh and engaging.

What makes our journey especially meaningful is the privilege of collaborating with arrangers who write specifically for us. These custom arrangements are crafted with our unique sound, personality, and strengths in mind, helping us tell stories and connect with our audiences in a way that feels authentically “Cincinnati Sound.”

We celebrate every arranger who contributes to our music, and we are especially thankful ❤️ for those who create just for us. Their work inspires us, challenges us, and lifts our voices to new heights—allowing us to shine together as a chorus.
