The 40th Annual Harmony Sweepstakes A Cappella Festival

New York Regional
Saturday, March 22, 2025, 7PM
Miller Theatre

Now celebrating its 40th year, the Harmony Sweepstakes A Cappella Festival has been the melting pot of top-notch a cappella talent from around the nation (and some from overseas!).

This annual national competition draws from hundreds of vocal groups, with regional competitions in eight cities. The winning group from each festival is flown to perform in front of celebrity judges and a sold-out house of enthusiastic a cappella fans at the National Finals. The competition embraces all styles of music performed a cappella, from traditional forms such as doo-wop, barbershop, gospel, and jazz to the exciting and innovative new directions of contemporary vocal music. You will be amazed at the versatility of the human voice on display in this most exhilarating evening of vocal harmony singing.
