About the event

Chattanooga Boys Choir Presents We Are the Music Makers Tour Concert at First Presbyterian Church in Gainesville FL

Special Opportunity for Local Youth Singers to Join the Performance


Gainesville, FL – The acclaimed Chattanooga Boys Choir will perform in concert on Wednesday, June 4, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church of Gainesville, 106 SW 3rd Street. This event is part of the choir’s 2025 summer tour entitled We Are the Music Makers, a celebration of youth, creativity, and the unifying power of song.


In addition to an evening of inspiring choral music, the concert offers a special opportunity for local youth singers to take part in the performance. Young singers from the Gainesville area are invited to arrive between 6:20pm and 6:45pm to rehearse two pieces with the Chattanooga Boys Choir and join them onstage for the concert’s conclusion. No prior sign-up is needed - just come ready to sing! Interested singers can visit www.chattanoogaboyschoir.org/summer-tour to access the music in advance if you would like to preview the easily learned songs “When We Are Singing” and “Ukuthula.”


Under the direction of Vincent Oakes, the Chattanooga Boys Choir has delighted audiences across the country and around the world for over 70 years. The concert will include a varied selection of repertoire including both traditional favorites and contemporary selections—all reflecting the spirit of the We Are the Music Makers tour. Audience members can expect to hear traditional selections by composers Henry Purcell and Camille Saint-Saëns as well as contemporary selections by Alex Gartner, Andrea Ramsey, Regional Wright, the Highwomen, Coldplay, UF faculty member Paul Basler, and more!


“We chose this tour theme to highlight the creativity, passion, and energy that young people bring to the world of music,” said Oakes. “We're especially thrilled to invite local youth to join us and be part of this joyful celebration.”  The performance is free and open to the public, and all are welcome. Donations will be accepted in support of the choir’s mission to enrich the lives of young singers through musical excellence and cultural exchange.
