What's "BinG!" all about?

BinG! (Barbershop in Germany! e. V.) is the german professional association for Barbershop - a special section of acappella music. We are a nationwide, highly specialized association for all choirs and quartets, which dedicate themselves to the Barbershop singing.

In particular, we are committed to making our passion for barbershop music known and to attracting as many people as possible to this great hobby and singing together.


We are the cradle of mixed barbershop

As the first barbershop association worldwide we founded ourselves as a (gendered) mixed association and also mixed choirs and quartets took part in our competitions . In other countries there is a strict separation: men's and women's ensembles compete in their own association and their own competition.
