Pearls of the Sound – barbershop chorus in Helsingborg

Pearls of the Sound on stage

World-class barbershop

One of the world’s leading barbershop choruses – fifty voices from Helsingborg, singing a cappella, competing internationally and putting on a show from the very first note.

Many voices, one instrument

We are some fifty women who share one passion: the four-part barbershop sound, where the chords ring and the music tells a story. Since our start in 1987 we have travelled from the rehearsal hall at Gåsebäck to the world’s biggest stages – and stood at the very top of the podium several times.

Sing with us

Do you want to sing in a world-champion chorus? We’re looking for you who want to grow, perform and have a great time along the way – whether you’ve sung in a choir for years or have longed to start. We rehearse on Tuesday evenings at Gåsebäck in Helsingborg. If you’re under 26 we have an extra-affordable membership.

Masterclass on stage

World champions – several times

Gold in Sweet Adelines Harmony Classic in 2001, 2013 and 2016 – and twice named the most entertaining chorus in the world (2016 & 2022).

On the world stage

Top placings among the world’s best choruses, most recently fourth in Phoenix 2022 and the final in Columbus 2025. We compete at the very top.

More than song

Costume, choreography and stories from e.g. The Greatest Showman and Chess – a Pearls performance is as much theatre as music.
