The Village Vocal Chords chorus is a 20-time International Champion of Harmony, Incorporated - an international organization of women who sing four-part a cappella music in the traditional barbershop harmony style.
They hold the distinction of being the first women's chorus invited to perform at a Barbershop Harmony Society convention and have performed as invited guests at similar conventions in England and Holland. As such, the VVC is thrilled to represent women's barbershop across the globe.
