Tri-City Gospel Chorus was formed in 1995 when men,who liked to sing Gospel Music in four part harmony, were invited to meet at Harmony Hall in East York. The assembly of singers was orchestrated by Ontario Quartet Champions and Ontario Senior Quartet Champions the Tri-City Slickers Barbershop Quartet. The Tri-City name was used for the quartet who belonged to three chapters of the Barbershop Harmony Society, East York, Markham and Oshawa. Tri-City has stuck with the chorus since its beginnings. Members of the chorus come from all over Ontario, with some from the Niagara area.
