Program

The Association of International (Barbershop Quartet) Champions invites you to begin your holiday season with a little harmony! They have gathered four active World Champion quartets, including the current reigning champion to present their gift to The Villages… the Spirit of the Season. If you have never heard Barbershop Harmony at its best, you are in for a treat. You will hear holiday classics presented by some of the best a cappella vocalists in the world.

This performance takes you on two special holiday journeys. In the first half we will celebrate the joy and happiness of the holiday season. You'll remember the family moments at Christmas time, and the sounds of the holidays. You'll travel on fields of snow, enjoy the excitement of opening presents under the tree, and the wonderful gatherings of friends and family.

In the second half we present the Christmas story. With songs and spoken text as we tell the story of the first Christmas and the birth that changed the world.

Taking you on this wonderful journey will be our four Champions
Storm Front – our 2010 International Champion. From Colorado, Great singing, with their own unique touch of comedy.



Quorum – our 2022 International Champions. Form Ohio, New Jersey and Georgia – a big sound, big voices, big emotion.

Midtown – our 2023 International Champions. Originally from the New York City area, now residing in four different states. Young, exciting and very theatrical.

Three and a Half Men – Our Current International Champions – Hailing from the Orlando area…offering a presence and musical excellence that made them Champions.

We invite you to relax. Let the joy of the holidays wash over you. Let the harmonies of Barbershop offer you an early Christmas present. We truly hope you will be able to join us as together we celebrate The Spirit of The Season!
