The Ambassadors of Harmony (AOH) is a 120+ member men's barbershopchorus, based in St. Charles, Missouri. The chorus won International Championship gold medals in 2004,[1] 2009,[2] and 2012[3] – each time singing two arrangements by David Wright, under the direction of Dr. Jim Henry – and then again in 2016[4] and 2023,[5] under the co-direction of Jonny Moroni and Dr. Henry. Their 2009 victory broke a nearly three-decade winning streak by the Vocal Majority.[note 1][6]
Noted for its crisp choreography[7][8][9] and its broad demographics,[10][11][12][13][14][15] the chorus continues to expand its reputation as a premier arts organization[16][17][18] while expanding audience engagement. Their Christmas shows are among the most popular holiday concerts in St. Louis,[19] averaging over 7,000 patrons per year, while their youth programs continue to expand and equip young singers in substantive ways.[20] The chorus has established a foundation to ensure that its mission to youth will continue to deepen, and as of 2017 it added an annual fundraising gala to its calendar to engage the community to join in their goals.[20]
