Harmony, Inc.'s mission:
Empowering all women through singing, education, and friendship.
The History of Harmony, Inc.
Since 1959, the organization has expanded from its Eastern roots to include chapters in the United States and Canada from California to Newfoundland, and from Manitoba to Florida. Contests and conventions are held each year for the purposes of educating members in the performance of the craft, bringing together the membership to see the best perform, informing the membership of the status and direction of the organization, and encouraging an atmosphere of friendship and camaraderie. A steady growth in membership, a gradual geographic expansion, continuous improvement in the quality of performances, and the determination to abide by its democratic principles and maintain its unique “Blend With Friendship”, all bespeak a bright future for Harmony, Inc.
