Youth Barbershop Chorus Festival

Each year, the men of Atlanta Vocal Project sponsor a youth chorus. If you are under 30 years of age, please consider joining us for the 7th annual Youth Barbershop Festival International Youth Barbershop Chorus Festival. We will compete against other young choruses from around the world in Orlando, Florida on January 31, 2014. For all the details of the Festival, click here.

Now in its seventh year, the International Youth Barbershop Chorus Festival has established itself as the premiere Festival for young male a cappella choruses. Students of all ages will sing for the best and most encouraging audience in the world, get critique and feedback from highly-trained and enthusiastic judges, and will return home with a confident passion and enthusiasm for singing that they will pass on to every other singer in your area.

In addition to performing, each chorus has the opportunity - at no cost to them - to hear the very best barbershop quartets in the world on two different shows.

Mission

The mission of The International Youth Barbershop Chorus Festival is to:

  • Enrich young lives through a cappella vocal music while perpetuating the barbershop harmony style.
  • Promote excellence in young male choruses by providing the best overall musical experience in an educational environment where students can learn from top adjudicators and performers, as well as from each other.
  • Provide a deeper understanding of an authentically American art-form, and to send students home with a new-found passion for singing, making music a part of the rest of their lives.
