Interim Director - Nick van Berkel



Nick caught the quartetting bug in high school and with the encouragement and support of one of his teachers, Dinesh Thaleshvar who also happened to be a member of the Chorus, participated in a Youth Quartetting event hosted by the Capital City Chorus. It wasn't long before he and some fellow classmates joined the Chorus, significantly lowering the average age of our membership!

Since joining, Nick has been very involved with the Music Team, serving as Tenor section lead, Tag Master, Quartet Master, and several other roles and activities. He has also served on the CCC Executive Board. Nick lives and breathes Barbershop, attending Harmony University, Quartet College, and both competed and entertained for several years with his quartet "Quiet, I'm Sleeping!". Nick is currently singing with his new quartet "Contact" which started up in 2022.

Nick stepped up as the Chorus' Interim Director coming out of the pandemic in January until the end of June 2022. He helped the members come back from an almost two-year singing hiatus and rebuild a cohesive four-part singing unit.  Once a full time director was found in June 2022, he continued his musical leadership in the Assistant Director role. 

Now that we are agian looking for a full time director, Nick has gaciously agreed to fill the role of interim director as the Chorus conducts a search for a full time director.
