Silver Chord Bowl
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Silver Chord Bowl is the oldest regional annual collegiate a capella competition, established in 1984 and run by the Northampton Arts Council.[1] The competition has attracted many notable a cappella groups including the Dartmouth Aires[2] and the Tufts Beezlebubs[3] and the Amherst College Zumbyes.[2] The competition has been held continuously going online for a year in 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic[4] before returning to John M. Greene Hall in 2022.[5] The showcase averages about 2,000 attendees per year.[6]
The Silver Chord Bowl has also featured performances by high school a cappella groups including the Northamptones.[4][7]
