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 in Redwood City, and a Thursday, June 26 collaboration concert with our partner chorus Fog City Harmonia in San Francisco. Tickets are now LIVE on our Eventbrite.
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

We are always open for auditions here at Fog City. Video submissions can be submitted at any time—prospective auditionees are encouraged to submit before our next in-person round, which will be in early August, in advance of our Fall 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!
International Medalists!
For the first time, the Fog City Singers are medalists of the Barbershop Harmony Society’s International Chorus Contest. We took the Bellco Theater stage in Denver early in the morning of July 4th and delivered a performance set of “Gravity” and “Take Me To The World/Starting Here, Starting Now” that was deemed worthy of a fourth-place finish, our highest ever.
We want to take this space to thank all of the choruses, quartets and individuals who supported us at all junctures of this crazy international journey. We also must thank our spouses, families, friends and support systems for enabling us to pursue our passion of making high-level barbershop music with each other, and sharing it with the world.
For those interested in re-experiencing the music of the international contest, all videos will be uploaded to the BHS YouTube Page over the coming months. As soon as our performances are uploaded, you’ll be able to find them embedded on our Videos Page.
