Singing Valentines will keep the whole world singing this February

They'll be saying "I love you" in song this month — and they'll be leaving thousands of sweethearts speechless.

This year, hundreds of barbershop quartets across the continent will deliver Singing Valentines to thousands of special sweethearts. Listen for the sound of harmony in offices, factories, schools and homes throughout North America. Wherever they appear, they'll draw a crowd — and sometimes a few tears.

The quartets belong to the Barbershop Harmony Society.

The price of a typical Singing Valentine starts around $35 (depending on location) and often includes two songs sung in barbershop harmony, a card, a rose and perhaps a box of chocolates. Men and women alike are on the receiving end — with moving results.

Singing Valentines providers include members of the Barbershop Harmony Society, Sweet Adelines International and Harmony, Inc.

Valentine providers can be located on the World Wide Web at www.singingvalentines.com.  The Society also offers a toll-free number tfor those without Internet access: (800) 876-SING, ask for Singing Valentines.

With more than 30,000 members in 800 chapters in the U.S. and Canada, the Barbershop Harmony Society is the world's largest all-male singing organization. Through education services, music publishing, public performance and competition, the Society preserves a rich heritage of uniquely American music for future generations.
