What does it take to be named the best female singing quartet in the world?  Witness for yourself as International Award winners “Speed of Sound” will be featured along with The Grand Rapids Chorus of Sweet Adelines.

The Harmony Quest performance takes place at Hudsonville Freshman Campus, 3370 Allen St., Hudsonville, on Saturday, Sept. 8, at 7 p.m. The night will be filled with extraordinary music, talents and humor.

Speed of Sound is a long-distance quartet, from all over the country, with more than 60 years of barbershop experience. They have been together for nearly five years and have achieved major accomplishments in the Sweet Adeline world.  In 2016, the group was crowned Queens of Harmony in Las Vegas!

They love singing cutting-edge arrangements.  But most of all, their wish is to spread their love for this art form called barbershop. It’s important to all four of them that they play a part in keeping barbershop alive and well for the coming generations.

The group is looking forward to traveling to West Michigan to share their talents.

“It will be so exciting to take the stage along with our sisters in harmony-The Grand Rapids Sweet Adelines,” said Carter Maysilles, baritone for Speed of Sound.  “We will all put on a fantastic show.”

Tickets for the Sept. 8 show are $20/general admission and $15/seniors/students. Group ticket prices also are available.
