4 Rent Quartet introduced spiritual songs
in the barbershop style in St. Paul’s Church and Eastern Pasila
Congregation on Sunday, 28 March, 2010. This may have been the first
time barbershop songs were used at church services in Helsinki. The
quartet’s contribution was appreciated and applauded, and public thanks
were received both from a senior member of the congregation and pastor Tuula Paasivirta.
The contributions to the services were planned with cantor Seppo Välimäki.
Through these performances knowledge of barbershop was spread to new audiences. Ed Watson, Executive Director/CEO of Barbershop Harmony Society commented: "Great job!"
All singers in 4 Rent Quartet are members of FABS. They also are members of the male barbershop chorus RingChorus.
