​The Barbershop Harmony Society:

Over 80 Years of Harmony

and Camaraderie​:

The Barbershop Harmony Society, legally and historically named the Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America, Inc. (SPEBSQSA), is the first of several organizations to promote and preserve barbershop music as an art form. Founded by Rupert Hall and Owen C. Cash in 1938, the organization quickly grew, promoting barbershop harmony among men of all ages.Just under 25,000 men in the United States and Canada, the members of this organization's focus is on performing and sharing barbershop and modern a cappella music.

​

Since 1990, the Society has developed and promoted a major focus on bringing the joy of singing to youth in America. Opportunities for young singers under the age of 30 years include participation in regional youth festivals, major performances at national venues such as Carnegie Hall, as well as a yearly national competition for high school and collegiate quartets. The Society has a cooperative relationship with the nation's music educators and the members of CASA (Contemporary A Cappella Society of America)​.​
