EIGHTEENTH ANNUAL HARMONY SWEEPSTAKES A CAPPELLA FESTIVAL

"In celebration of the human voice, the essential musical instrument"

Called the "The Superbowl of A Cappella" by the San Francisco Chronicle the Harmony Sweepstakes National A Cappella Festival announces its 2002 season. This entertaining and prestigious event continues to grow in popularity by highlighting the ever-increasing level of talent and professionalism of today's performing groups

Selected from hundreds of submissions from across the country the event encompasses all styles of unaccompanied harmony singing. Fans of a cappella, regardless of their personal preferences, will enjoy the variety and quality of these talented a cappella artists. And if you want to sing yourself then come to the show's afterglow and join the fun by singing with your group or with the many impromptu groups of enthusiastic singers.
