HARMONY: Atlanta’s International Youth Chorus is a 501c3 non-profit organization that offers young people, ages 6 to 18, from diverse racial, cultural, religious and socio-economic backgrounds the opportunity to develop teamwork, tolerance and mutual respect as they strive for musical excellence.
HARMONY was founded in 1992 by Dr. Elizabeth Kimble in a pilot summer camp program in the heart of downtown Atlanta, and kicked off its first annual concert series in the fall of 1993.
In 1996, Joyce Ketchie Carr became HARMONY’s music director. Ms. Carr, who continues to lead HARMONY today, has worked with hundreds of HARMONY children to conduct choral performances for some of the finest corporate, governmental, and non-profit organizations across Greater Atlanta.
Together we sing international music of varying styles and periods, and in 40 different languages. HARMONY has performed jazz, gospel, plain song chant, pop, classical, modern and many other musical styles. We sing in unison, and in two, three, and four-part harmonies, taking advantage of the vocal range of our singers. Our singers, despite differences in age and background, rehearse and perform together creating a community of singers who are known for their energy, diversity, and choral movement.
