Goal
Become a Friend of the Florida Singing Sons! As part of our mission, we will never turn away a student because of financial need. Each year, we provide scholarships and financial aid to ANY student that may need it. In our efforts to continue this legacy, we are hoping to raise funds for our organization. Your tax-deductible donation to the Florida Singing Sons helps ensure that all students have their opportunity to shine as a Florida Singing Son.
Your gift, no matter the size, can help us continue to provide not only scholarships, but also to continue to provide the highest level of training and high quality experiences for all our students. Your donation can help us with the renting of rehearsal and office space, purchasing of music, piano tuning, uniforms/blazers, performance venue fees, festival entrance fees, concert, camp, and tour transportations, marketing materials, staff and guest artists, and so much more! Non-profits like us rely hugely on private donors like you to help bring our missions from dream into reality. The day-to-day operations of running a choral organization takes an abundance of resources, and our grant funding only goes so far. Become a Friend of the Florida Singing Sons today!
The Florida Singing Sons have been delighting South Florida audiences since it was founded in Fort Lauderdale in 1975. Thousands of boys in Broward County have had the experience of being a Singing Son, some for ten years, and this year we have expanded our groups in an effort to become more inclusive by starting a mixed-voice Chorale for any High School student to join.
The Singing Sons perform a wide variety of choral literature. From ancient sacred chants to Broadway favorites to rock anthems, a typical year of concerts includes sacred and secular choral classics as well as selections from folk music and musical theater.
Members of Florida Singing Sons dedicate themselves to a rigorous program that results in university-level musicianship skills, an understanding of vocal pedagogy and choral techniques, and life-changing personal growth and development. Florida Singing Sons is an avid proponent of strengthening music education in South Florida, and has a vested interest in cultivating arts-aware youth to be the leaders of tomorrow.
The Florida Singing Sons have appeared with Miami Bach Society, Florida Grand Opera, Master Chorale of South Florida, New World Symphony, Nova Singers, and the Symphony of the Americas. The boy choir also participates in community outreach concerts, performances for local and national conventions, weddings, and educational outreach programs.
Florida Singing Sons carries on the long-lasting tradition of participating in festivals, and members of the Concert Choir and Second Generation Singers tour annually, alternating domestic and international tours. Last Summer members visited Europe, singing in Prague, Vienna, and Salzburg. Other recent trips include a performance tour of the Northeastern US (including the Summer Solstice concert at St John the Divine in New York City), Spain, the United Kingdom, and France.
The Florida Singing Sons say thank you for your support and for being our Friend!
