Introducing
The Fairfax Jubil-Aires Barbershop Chorus
The Fairfax Jubil-Aires are members of the Fairfax County
Virginia chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society, a society for the Preservation and Encouragement of
Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America (SPEBSQSA). SPEBSQSA is the
largest all male singing society in the world, with over 750 chapters in
the U.S., Canada with affiliate groups in eight other countries. In each
chapter, members combine to form a chorus and quartets that entertain for
fee or just for fun. Each year, in addition to their annual show, the
Jubil-Aires chorus and quartets perform throughout the area at such places
as the White House Ellipse, Fairfax City parade and fireworks displays,
county and city parks, cable TV, ball parks, senior citizen residences,
conventions, banquets, and other social events.
The Fairfax chapter consists of approximately 52 members who come
from many backgrounds but share a love of singing a cappella close
harmony. They meet at 7:30 PM each Tuesday at Old Town Hall in (Old Town)
Fairfax City on the corner of University Boulevard and Main Street. Their
director is Tom Meier, a dynamic and innovative barbershopper and leader.
Visitors are encouraged and always welcomed, whether they come to sing or
just to enjoy listening to a musical style that has pleased people for
over a hundred years.
