Harmony on
The River
Find Your Voice.
Share the Harmony.
A day for students to discover the joy of barbershop singing, connect through music, and bring their voices together.
Friday, January 8th, 2027
River Falls, Wisconsin
Let the Music Bring You Together
A Little Courage. A Whole Lot of Harmony.
Barbershop is about listening, connecting, and hearing what happens when voices become something bigger together.
Make Musical Connections
Share the fun of singing with other students. A short tag or a new harmony can turn a room of unfamiliar faces into fellow singers.
Share the Stage
The Festival Chorus will sing Friday evening, with coached quartets performing that same evening. Performance time and details will be announced.
The festival brings student learning and performance together alongside Harmony Academy. The full 2027 program and clinician lineup are still being arranged.
