International Quartet/Chorus Contest Recordings

Each year the Barbershop Harmony Society holds a convention and competition at which barbershop quartets and choruses from all over the world are invited to attend, participate, compete, and share fellowship in song. In each year since the late 1940s, the Barbershop Harmony Society has archived recordings of these competitions.

These are actual live recordings of the annual competition in the year stated. These tracks are not cobbled together pieces of studio cuts but rather pure, unadulterated live performances recorded as they happened with all of the coughs, creaks, sniffles, whistles, hoots and hollers that go with such performances. We hope you enjoy the music and artistry contained in these varied examples of one of the truly American art forms. A special thanks goes out to the folks at Naked Voice Records for the work they have done to organize and clear all these recordings legally and make them available for purchase!

Note: iTunes is required to purchase and download these recordings. iTunes is free! Please visit the iTunes download page to download and install iTunes.
