Who We Are
An ensemble assembled, not inherited
A highly select, annually auditioned choral ensemble drawn from across Florida and the Southeast.
Every season, singers from throughout Florida and the Southeast audition for a place in the Festival Singers. They arrive as teachers, church musicians, students and professionals — and they leave as one instrument.
The Festival Singers of Florida is dedicated to engaging and inspiring through impassioned singing, while expanding awareness and appreciation of the choral arts.
The ensemble rehearses intensively around each concert weekend rather than weekly through the year, which is what makes a statewide roster possible: singers drive in from Tampa, Jacksonville, Miami and everywhere between.
What sets the ensemble apart
- Auditioned from scratch every season — no standing membership
- Repertoire that pairs the choral canon with newly commissioned work
- Performances in four cities, so the audience is not limited to one metro
- A commissioning programme that puts living composers in front of Florida audiences
