This Season's Programmes
To book the Swingle Singers, or for more information about programmes, please direct your inquiry to our UK agent on the bookings page.
Educational events are an important part of the Swingle Singers' work. Whether the singers are working with amateur choirs, college ensembles, or established a cappella groups, these events are both informative and fun!
The Swingles' Education Team works closely with the music director of a group prior to the event, and will always try to tailor the content to suit the group's specific needs. There are four general types of events offered:
NEW: GLEE UP YOUR CHOIR (JAN-OCT 2011)
Specially designed to work in conjunction with our 2011 American tours, but suitable for all choirs from all countries! If you know and love the TV series "Glee", you'll know that the pilot episode is loaded with excerpts from Swingles tracks. Now we'd like to take that music directly to you and your choir!
