The Barbershop Harmony Society

The Barbershop Harmony Society is an international organization dedicated to promoting and preserving barbershop singing—a style characterized by close, four-part harmony sung a cappella. Founded in 1938, it provides a community for singers of all skill levels to learn, perform, and share this uniquely American musical tradition. The society offers educational programs, contests, and performances to celebrate musical excellence and camaraderie among enthusiasts. Its mission is to foster personal growth and enjoyment through the art of harmony, connecting people through engaging musical experiences rooted in tradition.
