Summer Set ‘25
We here in Fog City are barreling ahead into a Summer Set that will be chock-full of experiences, memories, and barbershop-seventh chords.
Within this 2.5 month project, we will be venturing to take ourselves to a variety of choice destinations, all in the name of enriching ourselves, sharing our performance art, and pursuing our mission statement.
We’ll begin in May by doing a weekend retreat at the Zephyr Point Camp and Conference Center on the Nevada shore of Lake Tahoe. It is there that we’ll partake in both a healthy amount of rehearsing, and an even healthier amount of community-building.
Then, in late June, we’ll be putting on send-off concerts for our local San Francisco Bay audience. These will be a Sunday, June 22 matinee, and a Thursday, June 26 collaboration concert with our partner chorus, Fog City Harmonia. Details regarding both location and ticketing are forthcoming.
Finally, we will be traveling in early July to Denver, CO to participate in the 2025 Barbershop Harmony Society International Chorus Contest. We’ll be hosting an open chorus rehearsal to the general public on Thursday morning, and will be making our contest appearance bright and early as the second chorus in Friday’s order of appearance, performing immediately after VocaMotion. We hope to see you there!
Fog City Harmonia

In 2019, our partner ensemble Fog City Harmonia became one of the first SSAA choruses in the Barbershop Harmony Society, on the heels of the society’s “Everyone in Harmony” initiative.
Since then, they have quickly become an essential part of the San Francisco singing community, dazzling audiences with their close harmony and lively performance energy.
Audition For Fog City

Fog City holds auditions periodically, traditionally in batches at specific times in between projects. Our next in-person auditions round will be on April 21st, in advance of our Summer International Set ‘25. We’re looking for strong, conscientious singers from all backgrounds who readily apply feedback, learn music quickly, and are excited to engage with both their fellow singers and the local singing community. Looking to join us? We’re excited to hear your stuff!
District Champs!
For the second time in our history, the Fog City Singers are chorus champions of the Far Western District. We want to take this space to thank all of the quartets, choruses and individuals who supported us in Riverside as we took the stage and delivered a performance that shan’t soon be forgotten.
We also must take this opportunity to express our congratulations to our partner chorus, Fog City Harmonia, for their own marvelous District performance. They have worked so hard over the past year to elevate their artistry, and that was fully evident as they registered their highest score ever in BHS competition.
It is with great pride that we can declare that next July in Denver, both Fog City Harmonia and Fog City Singers will be competing in the BHS International Chorus Contest. We hope to see you there!
