Harmony, Inc. Comes to Louisville for 2026 International Convention and Contests
The excitement of competitive a cappella takes center stage in Louisville, Kentucky, as Harmony, Inc. hosts its 2026 International Convention and Contests (IC&C), November 11–14. Singers, quartets, choruses, and music enthusiasts from across the United States and Canada will gather for four days celebrating musical excellence, performance, education, and the connections that make the Harmony, Inc. community unique. One of the highlights of the annual convention is the international competition, where qualifying quartets and choruses take the stage to showcase their musical achievements and compete for the opportunity to earn the title of IC&C champion.
The four-day convention features a packed schedule of activities and performances, including the opening celebration, quartet semifinals, chorus contest, Parade of Champions, and quartet finals. Beyond the competitive stage, attendees can participate in educational classes, enjoy open rehearsals, connect with fellow singers, and take part in activities designed to strengthen musical skills and build lasting relationships throughout the organization. While the contests are a major attraction, IC&C represents much more than a competition. It is an opportunity for members of Harmony, Inc. to come together through a shared love of music, celebrate the accomplishments of fellow performers, exchange ideas, develop their talents, and strengthen the bonds of an international a cappella community. From first-time attendees to experienced competitors, the convention offers opportunities to learn, perform, encourage one another, and experience the energy of live harmony.
Acaville will livestream the convention’s competitions, contests, and Parade of Champions throughout all four days, allowing fans, family members, friends, and a cappella enthusiasts to follow the performances as they happen. Paid livestream access is available through Acaville.live. Rebroadcasts will also be available during and following the convention, giving viewers additional opportunities to catch performances and revisit the highlights.
