(31st Season of Tuesday Evening Sing-Alongs)

Download the Schedule for 2013 Summer Sings as a PDF

Since 1992, New Dominion Chorale has sponsored Washington Summer Sings, Tuesday evening sing-alongs of great choral works conducted by outstanding local choral conductors.

This summer tradition is beloved by the many singers in the area whose choral programs take the summer off. It's a time to meet old friends and a place to bring guests with similar interests. It's one of the best aspects of summer in Washington, and further evidence why this is called the "choral capitol of the United States."

Music selections have included the favorite standards for large chorus performance as well as less familiar pieces in which sight-readers can be carried along by singers in their surrounding section. Publicity for the series is in the Washington Post, and letters are mailed to choral groups, church choirs, local universities, and the ongoing list of participants.

Letters are sent to a number of high school choral directors asking them to mention the series to students who might be interested in studying choral music performance seriously, either as professionals or amateurs. We expect that young people will learn about choral performance from several aspects: chorister, soloist, conductor, and accompanist. We will offer free admission to interested students.
