The Sycamore Community Summer Singers
The Sycamore Community Summer Singers (SCSS) is a group of 53 auditioned singers aged 14-18 living in the Sycamore community of Cincinnati, Ohio. The choral group was founded by Linda Gartner, the director. Our 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 and once again in 2009.
The Europe Experience
The Sycamore Community Summer Singers have performed in Salzburg, Vienna, Melk, Heidelberg, Rothenburg, Prague, Lucerne, Innsbruck, Venice, Florence, Siena, and Rome. The Summer 2009 tour will see the SCSS touring the beautiful country of Spain and performing in cities including Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia and Toledo.
