Back again on February 28th (because how could we resist?) will be our second quartet, the Catalyst Quartet, the show-stopping, award-winning barbershop quartet who stole our hearts during last spring’s performance of The Music Man (pictured above). Blending the ringing chords and vocal precision of barbershop with songs drawn from popular music, these four award-winning singers will showcase the expressive possibilities of close harmony. These four award-winning singers, who are music teachers by day, will regale us with traditional American barbershop, as well as tunes from the American Songbook, while accompanying themselves on various instruments. Their excellence and their joy is just what we all need these days!
The Catalyst Quartet
The Catalyst Quartet is an award-winning barbershop quartet from New York’s Capital Region featuring Nate Finke, George Alden, Dan Hoke, and Rit Carroll. The 2024 Northeastern District champions have competed multiple times at the Barbershop Harmony Society’s international convention. In addition to performing, the quartet supports the next generation of singers through educational events, including serving as the teaching quartet for the Capital Region’s Harmony X-Plosion youth camp. MONP audiences may remember Catalyst from the 2026 production of The Music Man.
