Swing Set Singers Concert

SWING SET is an intentionally small vocal jazz ensemble singing 4 and 8-part harmonies by the likes of The Real Group, Manhattan Transfer, Les Six, etc. With a fresh, vibrant sound, we sing jazz and other styles, incorporating exciting rhythms, complex harmonies, and vocal improvisations in ‘a capella’ and accompanied arrangements. While this group of skilled singers focuses on standards from the Swing  Era, we occasionally venture into other vocal realms that interest us.   Formed in 2017, the group features 2 to 3 voices on a part creating a musical and social intimacy not possible in larger choral groups. Our musical excellence is coupled with an abundance of fun and  laughter,  hallmarks of this group both on and off stage.    Funded by the Deerfield Cultural Council

This tour is a continuation of Jo’s first library tour, which began in 2019, but ended prematurely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2019-2020 library tour included visits to libraries in Bernardston, Colrain, Gill, Erving, Leverett, Leyden, Montague, Northfield, Orange, Royalston, Shutesbury, Warwick, and Wendell. This tour will celebrate the vibrancy of our region’s libraries and the critical role they play in our communities, as gathering places, resources, introductions to literacy, and so much more, as well as the resilience of our librarians and library staff who have worked to support our communities throughout the pandemic. Each visit will include opportunities for constituents to hear about Jo’s legislative work, ask questions, and join in conversation about pressing issues affecting their communities.
