We are a mixed chamber group of community choir singers skipping out for a month during the summer to explore new genres and experience small ensemble a cappella singing.
2026 Season
Our 2026 concert is a wrap! Thanks to our singers, our coach, and all those who came out to hear us try our hand at an all-French program.

Past Concerts
Summer Fling Singers was founded in 2016, and has performed concerts yearly (or at least mostly, thanks to COVID) since then. Click below for information on our past events:
How It Works
Each year, Summer Fling Singers chooses a different style or composer of a cappella music to focus upon. Once decided, a local director is selected to coach us through the repertoire and conduct us.
An initial reading session is held in late June or early July, followed by 6 rehearsals spread over the last three full weeks of August. Our yearly concert is typically held the weekend prior to Labor Day weekend. Concert dress is “Aloha” shirts or floral print dresses, because no one should have to wear black in the summer.
Singers are selected through invitation and referral, mostly being drawn from local community chorales. We aim for around 12 singers each season (three per section), unless the repertoire demands more. Are you interested in singing with us in the future?
