Who We Are

The Motor City Metro Chorus, City Lights, was re-chartered in 2018 as a premier men’s a cappella chorus specializing in the barbershop style. The chorus prides itself on representing the pillars of brotherhood, vulnerability and dedication through the way we carry ourselves as human beings and our interactions with our community. Each member of our chorus is not only a capable singer, but are invested in the mission and ideals of the chorus as a whole to best promote the highest character. The chorus intends to compete in the Barbershop Harmony Society’s district and international-level competitions. Outside of competition, City Lights puts on various performances throughout the year to enhance our community of singers and the lives of those that we encounter in the metro-Detroit area.

In the Barbershop Harmony Society’s international competition, the chorus has placed in the top 15 for each of their last three years, culminating in a 7th place finish in Cleveland, OH in July 2024.
