The Summer Singers of Atlanta was created in 1990 by William O. Baker as Atlanta’s “original summer chorus.” No audition is required for membership. Adults and mature youth are welcomed from all walks of life and at every level of musical experience and interest in the chorus, which averages between 100 and 150 members each year. Singers have traveled to Midtown Atlanta from as far as Savannah, Georgia, Chattanooga, Tennessee, and Charlotte, North Carolina to be a part of weekly rehearsals in preparation for a grand choral masterwork performed with orchestra.
Led by music director Thomas Dixon since the 2025 concert season, The Summer Singers of Atlanta holds weekly Monday night rehearsals beginning in early June and continues until the performance in mid-August. Novice singers are supported by the many music professionals and well-trained singers who are drawn to the opportunity to sing immortal works alongside professional soloists and top-notch orchestra musicians in an environment focused on learning. Across the 35-plus years of the Summer Singers of Atlanta, both critics and audiences have marveled at the artistic excellence achieved in a truly community setting.
Masterworks performed in recent years have included Beethoven: Mass in C and Symphony No. 9; Mozart: Requiem, Solemn Vespers, and Mass in C minor; Brahms: Ein Deutsches Requiem; Haydn: The Creation, Te Deum and Lord Nelson Mass; Vivaldi: Gloria; Handel: Messiah (choruses); Orff: Carmina Burana; and dozens of other masterworks.
