Harmony, Incorporated is an international, non-profit organization whose purpose is to empower all women through education, friendship and a cappella singing in the barbershop style. Contests and conventions are held each year for the purposes of educating members in the performance of the craft, bringing together the membership to see the best perform, to inform the membership of the status and direction of the organization, to encourage an atmosphere of friendship and camaraderie and promote our "blend with friendship." Since 1959, the organization has expanded from its Eastern roots to include chapters in the United States and Canada from California to Newfoundland, and from Manitoba to New Mexico and has expanded our youth outreach to create excitement about the a cappella barbershop art form to a wider audience.
