The Singers of Summerville was formed in August 2003 by the Greater Summerville Music Forum and the founding director, Paul Fletcher. The Singers of Summerville strives through community outreach and local concerts, to provide performances of the very best sacred and secular music of the past five centuries for the enjoyment and musical education of the Greater Charleston community. The choir rehearses Monday, and some Thursday evenings, on the campus of Bethany United Methodist Church at 118 West 3rd South Street in beautiful downtown Summerville under the direction of Dr. Valerie Bullock, Chair of the Horton School of Music, and Professor of Music and Director of Choral Activities at Charleston Southern University. Dr. Bullock has directed the Singers since July 2006 when founding director Paul Fletcher moved to Atlanta, GA. The ensemble is comprised of forty-five dedicated volunteer musicians from the Summerville area, and entrance into the choir is gained through competitive audition.
