Our mission is to change lives of audiences and singers alike by creating "thrilling harmony"--nearly flawless unaccompanied vocal music, performed with deep passion and great energy. We seek a world where all men are singing and everyone is listening. We believe such a world would be more harmonious in every way. In all that we do, we seek to promote a lifetime of singing among a diverse community of men.
