Annual Friends Drive
Contributions to Singing City’s Annual Friends Drive are of crucial importance because they are used to support the operating budget of the Choir. Friends Drive gifts are spent throughout the year on operating needs such as our formal concert series, T-VOCE (Teen Voices of the City Ensemble), community concerts at care facilities and retirement homes, and to support our small but dedicated staff. These funds have the broadest impact on Singing City and its audiences.

Jeffrey Brillhart Commissioning Fund
for New Choral Music
In honor of Artistic & Music Director Jeffrey Brillhart’s retirement in June 2023 following a 25-year tenure with Singing City, we are pleased to announce the creation of the
Jeffrey Brillhart Commissioning Fund for New Choral Music, designed to create new choral works especially for the choir.
Seed funding comes from Singing City, its board and choir members, and individuals wishing to honor Jeff’s legacy. In keeping with Singing City’s mission and in line with Jeff’s advocacy on behalf of composers from varied backgrounds, the commissioned composers supported through this fund will represent a broad range of gender, ethnic, and racial diversity.
Over the course of Jeff's tenure, Singing City commissioned works by Andrew Bleckner/Charlotte Blake Alston, Andrea Cleafield, Melissa Dunphy, Kile Smith, Ethan Haman/Cydney Brown, Benjamin Boyle, and others. We also commissioned 27 composers to write short works intended for community singing as part of our 75th anniversary in 2023. The resulting compilation - The Singing City Songbook - is available in PDF format in our online store. The composers come from Philadelphia and across the country.
Legacy Fund
A bequest is one of the easiest ways to provide future support to Singing City. Remembering the Choir in your estate planning ensures that the mission and work of Singing City will endure for generations.
To learn more, please contact Executive Director Lauren Anderson at 267-519-5321 or by e-mail at
