THE BIG SING!

In celebration of the 100th Anniversary of Venice, Florida, and the 250th Anniversary of the United States, we invite you and your choir to participate in a landmark community event: The Big Sing! presented by The Venice Chorale.

This unforgettable concert will take place on Sunday, February 22, 2026, at 7:00 PM at the Venice Performing Arts Center. Choirs from schools, churches and community groups across our region will come together to share music that uplifts, unites and celebrates our shared history.

The evening will conclude with the premiere of a newly commissioned work honoring the Venice Centennial, composed by the winner of our 2nd Annual Choral Composition Competition. The lyrics are written by our Youth Chorus Director Alyssa Adamson and Music Director Brent Douglas, and the piece will be performed by all participating singers during the grand finale. A group rehearsal for the finale will take place prior to the concert from 5:30–6:30 PM.

We hope you will join us in raising your voices in harmony for this once-in-a-generation celebration. All choirs and singers are welcome—from youth to adults and all experience levels. Please complete this Participation Form and submit by November 1, 2025.

If you have questions, don’t hesitate to contact us at info@thevenicechorale.org. We would love to have your choir be part of this historic moment in Venice’s story.
