We are looking for competing quartets to participate in a series of Community Pop-Up Performances across St. Louis during convention week. These short appearances will help us share harmony in high-visibility public spaces, connect with the city, and create memorable musical moments throughout the week. Also, who doesn't want to shake the "stage nerves" with a practice performance in front of a live audience?!?!
Join us as we share music in some of the city’s most memorable spaces.
Most opportunities are expected to be approximately 10–20 minutes in length. Whether you want to sing once or multiple times, we would love to hear from you.
Dates: June 29–July 4, 2026
Location: Multiple pop-up sites across St. Louis- check out all the awesome venues below!
Who can participate: Competing quartets attending International

- As with any performance, some performances may require a bit of flexibility!
- Some locations may need a sound system- we will take care of that!
