The Men of Harmony
The “Men of Harmony “, formerly known as the “United States Steel Chorus”, is an organization of singers whose objective is to preserve the traditional religious, folk, and popular songs of our Country while experiencing the fellowship and enjoyment that results from our performances.
We trace our roots back 73 years to the construction of the United States Steel’s Fairless Works plant in Fairless Hills, PA. Our original purpose was to sing Christmas carols for the men who were constructing the mill and would not be home for Christmas. The group soon developed shows and a road tour to include tree lightings, benefits, schools, nursing homes, hospitals, senior centers and eventually, year round concerts.
The 2024 Season is upon us. The Men of Harmony are available for both Community and Private events.
Newtown City Lifestyle (NCL) is a community-focused magazine that aims to connect the residents of Newtown, New Hope, Upper Makefield, Washington Crossing, & Wrightstown. They are inspired by the unique atmosphere our region has, and they highlight the most positive aspects of living here. Click on the image to read their article on the Men of Harmony...
My favorite memories from the chorus are when my dad asked me to join the US Steel Chorus, I was so nervous, but he took me under his wing as all dad’s do with their sons and nurtured me along to give me confidence to sing with an amazing group of guys. Going over to Barry's house (former Director) to sing with a few guys and rehearse songs. Another great memory is when we sang “This old hammer”. We would change the words to " Old Man Mueller (a former bass member of the choir), he just keeps rolling along. It was also an honor to be President of the greatest bunch of misfit guys whom I will always love for their friendship and comradery.
