Christian group brings sound of harmony to Oklahoma City

The free event will be in the Hardeman Auditorium. It is part of the university's annual Lectureship .

In a recent telephone interview, Lancaster talked about founding the group:

Q: What made you decide you wanted to form a group?

A: I've always been fascinated with harmony and hearing voices blended together so I wanted to start a group.

Q: How did you get started?

A: Going to certain big events and conventions, I would go and find people who also liked singing. It's a challenge to find the right people because sometimes the schedule can be hectic, and there's a lot of work involved. A lot of people see the glamour on stage, and they don't realize all the work involved.

Q: What kind of challenges did you face?

A: It was really a fun challenge to see what we could do without a bass guitar, without other instruments. To get the trademark sound, we really work to get those harmonies to be stellar. That starts from the audition process. I can really relate to “The Voice” (reality TV show) because you are just hearing someone's voice. Being an a cappella group, that's all you have is the voices. And it's not just about the solo voices; it's about the blend of voices. There were some difficulties and challenges getting started, and there were plenty of reasons to quit, but things kept happening around the corner.
