A Celebration of the Spiritual

Philadelphia’s Singing City Choir was founded as an integrated choir in 1948 by Dr. Elaine Brown.  We celebrate Singing City’s roots in the Fellowship House movement, which believed that by bringing ordinary people together in shared activities—such as singing—racial, religious and cultural divides could be bridged.
