The Sons of the Severn is an award-winning men's choral ensemble based in Annapolis, Maryland. We are proud members of the Barbershop Harmony Society (officially the Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of BarberShop Quartet Singing in America, Inc., or SPEBSQSA). The Sons are the 2010 Western Division Champions in the Mid-Atlantic District

The chorus performs a diverse repertoire of American popular music, including Tin Pan Alley classics, pop standards, novelty songs, and seasonal favorites. We complement our singing with innovative staging, movement, and dialogue, to create a unique and memorable experience for our audiences. All of our music is arranged for four voice parts and sung a cappella (unaccompanied). The singers in our group come from various backgrounds, having sung in high school and college ensembles, madrigals, church choirs, opera, musical theater, and even heavy metal bands.

The Sons of the Severn name is an homage to the Severn River, which runs through Annapolis, the state capital of Maryland and home to the United States Naval Academy. The chorus represents the Anne Arundel County, Maryland Chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society. Our chapter was founded in 1949, the third chapter to charter in the Society's Mid-Atlantic District.
