HERmonic

Hermonic was born in 2006 from Pacific Lutheran University's original mixed a Cappella group. As the mixed group's popularity grew, so the the demand for an all female a Cappella group on campus. So, the girls of the mixed group bid a fond farewell to the boys and founded their own group - HERmonic! HERmonic has since grown into a diverse group of women who pride themselves on their individuality and spirit. They strive to create entertaining and innovative music, while sticking to their motto -- Keep it Sassy, Brassy and Classy. They would like to thank their brother group PLUtonic, for all of their support and encouragement.
