 The
Queens of Harmony is a six-member all-female gospel quartet. These women sing
traditional a cappella gospel songs using a lead singer and three backup
singers. The Queens of Harmony grew to love a cappella gospel as children growing up in the
South. They heard
this music in their churches and from their families, learned how to sing it, and now are one of the few a cappella gospel quartets in Wisconsin.
