Swing Set Singers Concert
2022-09-17 15:00 - 16:00 | MA
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.
