Calling all singing basses and tenors! – Don’t miss the opportunity to be part of something BIG, The UConn Brothers Sing On! – Bass/Tenor Choir Festival. Bass and tenor singers from throughout the Northeast will come to UConn’s von der Mehden Recital Hall to join together with singers from the UConn Glee Club, Concert Choir, The Silk City Chorus and a cappella groups for a day of singing and sharing. We have a SPECIAL guest this year as Mr. Bekhani Buthelezi, director of choirs at the University of Zululand in South Africa will be in residence at UConn for one week and spending the day with us. Mr. Buthelezi is an esteemed and award-winning director who will work with the Brothers Sing On! Festival Choir on traditional South African singing and help us create much joy together. This event was created to celebrate men singing together and to help reinforce the joy of singing and recruiting of bass and tenor singers into high school as well as church and community choral programs. There will be performances by the UConn Glee Club, UConn’s outstanding male a cappella groups, The Silk City Chorus, and the UConn Brothers Sing On! Festival Choir. This is an event not to miss!

We look forward to singing with YOU!
