April will be a harmonious month in Belleville willy nilly. If not between all residents, certainly in terms of music, specifically, singing.

For the fourth time, the annual convention of the Ontario District, Barbershop Harmony Society, is coming here, the weekend of Friday and Saturday, April 14-15. With it comes several hundred barbershop harmony singers, both men and women for highly challenging competitions for both quartets and choruses from all over Ontario, plus a number of professionally trained judges from all over North America.
