Our Story
Mission
The mission of Summit Choral Society is to provide a continuum of musical training for young children through senior adults, produce exceptional choral performances, and preserve the art of choral music for the enrichment and enjoyment of the Greater Akron community.
Programs
Children's Choir Program Summit Choral Society provides a continuum of musical training for young children through adulthood and also serves the community with high quality, inspirational performances through the Children’s Choir Program (CCP, ages 6-18), The CCP provides a comprehensive curriculum that includes six (6) levels of musicianship classes and nine(9) choirs to meet the individual needs of each student. Choral Scholar's Program The Choral Scholars Program offers college students and recent graduates the opportunity to have professional experiences with a community choral organization that is beyond the educational experiences in a college setting. Metropolitan Chorus Singers with differing music skills, ages, and life experiences are brought together by their common love and commitment to choral music. Akron City Gospel Singers All adults and children ages 13 and up are welcome to participate in the Akron City Gospel Singers (ACGS, ages 13-adult)Open Community Event Sessions with no previous music or vocal training. Additionally, there are no auditions or fees. Those interested in singing simply attend an event session!
History of Summit Choral Society
Summit Choral Society began in 1990 with the Masterworks Chorale, a premier adult chorus in NE Ohio. The Children’s Choir Program soon followed in 1991, providing the start of a unique pathway for choral music education and performance. The vision was to develop a musical community for singers of all ages who enjoy learning, growing, creating and sharing the sounds of the expansive world of choral repertoire.
The Children’s Choir Program (CCP) is a unique vocal music education program for children in grades one through twelve. Its teachings are based on the Zoltan Kodály method of attaining music literacy taught by degreed, professional music instructors. This past season, 180 children from over 75 schools in eight counties participate. Singers are placed in one of four Musicianship Classes and the appropriate choir (Beginning Singing, Intermediate, Advanced or Performance Choirs) matched with their own musical experience and skill. Each student progresses at his/her own speed and ability.
The Children's Choir Program's flagship ensemble is Performance Choir. This nationally recognized choir represents the culmination of musical learning and performance in the CCP. They were selected to represent Ohio at the National Memorial Day Choral Festival on Memorial Day weekend in Washington D.C. 2017, performed by invitation as the featured choir at the National Choral Festival at Carnegie Hall in New York City 2018, will perform at the Smoky Mountain Music Festival and as a Grand Ole Opry pre-show performance in 2019. They are active all over Ohio, were selected to sing at the Ohio state Ohio Choral Director's Association Conference, 2017, and were most recently invited by audition to sing at the National Organization of American Kodaly Educators National Conference in 2019! Additionally, this choir performs at various community events throughout the greater Akron community each season as well as Summit Choral Society presented concerts.
The Masterworks Chorale, renamed the Metropolitan Chorus in 2018, has been a staple of NE Ohio's choral community for nearly 30 years! The Metropolitan Chorus enjoys a unique session based model for singers and consists of impeccably programmed diversity in the choral arts, enjoying multiple renowned conductors and events each season.
In 2019, SCS was proud to announce the formation of a new grass-roots community gospel choir, the Akron City Gospel Singers. This opportunity is based in the rich tradition of gospel song and will enhance the lives of many - providing fellowship between diverse families within our community, consisting of both youth and adults, ages 13 and up. The Akron City Gospel Singers is conducted by Akron local community leader and degreed, professional musician and educator, Jaron LeGrair. Mr. LeGrair is a dynamic musician, vocalist and conductor hailing from Akron! He has devoted his career to spreading the love of music throughout the community and has a passion for gospel song. “I am so excited to lead this new innovative choir with Summit Choral Society! The emergence of this choir is going to be impactful in so many ways outside of the beautiful songs we will sing. I am honored and proud to help make history with this fabulous organization.” SCS also utilizes Marquis Brown, local musician from Barberton, as the accompanying pianist. The Akron City Gospel Singers have free, open rehearsals and performances on select Saturdays.

Have you used https://EasyVirtualChoir.com? It’s a game changer, super EASY and FREE! The software aligns audio/video tracks automatically and will save you lots of editing time. Many users say EasyVirtualChoir recreates a live choir experience for singers. It allows each singer to follow the conducting/reference video and peer sound tracks to sing along with. Choir director can evaluate/adjust individual recordings before exporting the final production video. The software has also been widely used for virtual rehearsals by which the choir director can quickly evaluate each singer and provide timely feedback. No need to send files around, everything is done within the app. After everyone finishes singing, the choir video can be created in just a few minutes. The entire process is so intuitive, simple and fast for both choir director and singers, that most k-12 school music teachers have got a video created after just one class period. Virtual choir and online rehearsals have become so much easier with EasyVirtualChoir. Hope this free resource will be helpful to your ensemble too!
The SCS office should be very proud of how they honored their Seniors! Very nice job!
Virtual Spirit Week Day #2
I bought a single ticket ($35) for Sunday's concert. Unfortunately, I have to go out of town for a family member's funeral and will not be able to attend. Does anyone need a ticket for Sunday's concert? If so, please let me know. Thanks.
Was anyone able to video "Tundra" at the tree festival by chance?
You all are such a blessing and inspiration. As the Tennessee Fire Chiefs Conference was concluding in Gatlinburg and we were all checking out of the hotel to head home, we were in awe as we got an extra special treat. Thank you!! Safe travels and God bless.
