About SCSS
The Sycamore Community Summer Singers (SCSS) is a group of 69 auditioned singers living in the Sycamore community of Cincinnati, Ohio. The choral group was founded by Linda Gartner, the director. Our teen performers represent five different high schools throughout our area.
A Dream Come True
Mrs. Gartner wanted to provide a European concert tour for students as a result of a very similar tour she experienced as a college senior with the Collegiate Chorale of Bowling Green State University. During that tour she performed in Salzburg, Vienna and Venice and vowed to someday bring a group of students to do the very same thing! The dream came true in the summers of 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009 and once again in 2011.
The Europe Experience
The Sycamore Community Summer Singers have performed in Salzburg, Vienna, Melk, Heidelberg, Rothenburg, Prague, Lucerne, Innsbruck, Venice, Florence, Siena, Rome, Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia and Toledo. In the Summer of 2011, the SCSS toured and performed in Paris, Normandy, Caen, Bruges, Brussels and London, including St Paul’s Cathedral.
The 2013 Tour
The SCSS is proud to announce the 2013 Tour which will include performances in Northern Italy, Slovenia and Croatia.
