The Ritz is a barbershop quartet from the Johnny Appleseed District of the Barbershop Harmony Society. Each member of the quartet was a vocal music teacher at the high school or university level. After coming in fourth at the San Francisco convention in 1990, the quartet won the international championship in Louisville in 1991.

The quartet has traveled internationally and has appeared on two PBS specials, Keep America Singing (in 1994) and World's Largest Concert (in 1996).
