Guest Artists: The Ladies
We are happy and proud to announce the Guest Artists of the EBC 2025 – The Ladies!
The Ladies are an energetic and passionate group of women dedicated to creating music with authenticity and joy. Their journey began in 2016, when they formed to compete in the Rising Star Competition in New Zealand. That year, they were crowned the 2016 International Rising Star Champions, and since then, they’ve become known for their captivating performances worldwide. The Ladies have taught at a cappella and barbershop camps across the world and entertained audiences from all over the globe. In 2024, they placed 4th at the Barbershop Harmony Society International Quartet Competition. In 2022, they placed 6th at the same event and later won the Sweet Adelines International Quartet Competition, earning the title of 2023 Queens of Harmony. With 53 years of combined barbershop experience, The Ladies are not only accomplished performers but also passionate music educators, spreading the love of harmony to musicians of all ages. They look forward to continuing to inspire and share their love for music in the years ahead! And in 2025, they’re joining the EBC 2025 convention. Could this be more exciting!
