Tension & Release: Moving Forward in Harmony — A Black History Month Panel Discussion

Acknowledging history is only the beginning. This second panel turns our attention forward—exploring how the Barbershop Harmony Society can transform learning into sustained action and build a more welcoming future for everyone in harmony. Drawing on lessons from barbershop’s past and present, panelists will examine how inclusion can become an ongoing practice rather than a one-time conversation. The discussion will explore how BHS can deepen relationships with other musical communities and institutions, cultivate partnerships rooted in mutual respect, and ensure that commitments to inclusion lead to lasting, meaningful change. Using barbershop’s own musical language, this session will consider how differences in perspective are not obstacles, but opportunities for growth. Panelists will reflect on how historical awareness can strengthen community bonds, how spaces of compassion and understanding can be intentionally cultivated, and where the Society can focus its efforts to make inclusion a lived experience rather than an abstract goal. Together, this conversation invites members to imagine what it truly means to create a barbershop community that appeals to people from all walks of life—and how, through shared responsibility and continued learning, we can move forward in harmony. The Barbershop Harmony Society values inclusion, service, and humanity.
