Holland Harmony was founded in 1981 and currently has approximately 700 members in 23 choruses & 31 quartets. That makes us the largest Ladies Association of Dutch Barbershop Singers. And we are still growing. Holland Harmony is mostly concerned with growing in quality and therefore offers a lot of educational activities to her members. We are organizing a convention every other year and a Harmony College every other year.

We are also looking to intensify cooperation with other barbershop organizations in order to support each other, exchange experiences and expertise and of course, to all sing together in harmony.
