Jazz History Online - Review
The Swingles recent performance in Delaware reviewed by Thomas Cunniffe for Jazz History Online.
Their ensemble singing—including group phrasing, breathing, diction, and passion—was immaculate
Happy Holidays from The Swingles!
We have made it home in one piece after two and half amazing weeks in the USA on our Winter Tour!
We did 10 performances in 10 different cities, celebrated with wonderful audiences and our friends across the pond, and admired the most epic holiday decorations all over America (Fayetteville we’re looking at you!).
We enjoyed a long drive from Texas to Northern Indiana, snow in Utah, and finished in the most festive place in the world, New York City.
Thank you to all the venues for looking after us so well and we are looking forward to being back very soon.
Happy Holidays, everyone!

Collaboration with Phoebe Katis released - Until Next Time
We’re so excited that our collaboration with Phoebe Katis is finally out in the world! When we first heard her play an early version of Until Next Time on her instagram, we fell in love and knew it was the song we wanted to sing with her. The lyrics and melody drew us in and we could just tell the song would lend itself to a Swingle vocal arrangement. We’re so grateful to be able to make music with such amazing artists like Phoebe, and hope and pray this isn’t the last time we create music together! The song will also be available on all streaming platforms.
From Phoebe:
“True story: over Xmas last year my dad played me some crazy a cappella Bach arrangements, & I immediately needed to know who the group was. that night I messaged the Swingles on Instagram telling them this & if they’d be down for a collaboration. And here we are !! this song means the world to me & it has been elevated by these beautiful people to a whole other world. They sent me the arrangement, I cried, we met up in London, rehearsed, I cried some more, recorded & filmed in one day, more crying, and voila. huge love to everyone involved. This is seriously special!”
The Swingles are heading to the USA!
We are headed to the US for the month of December for the first time since 2019! We cannot wait to share our winter holiday program with you, Together for the Holidays. Check out the image below to see if we’ll be in a city near you! Tickets can be found here.

The Swingles in South Korea
The Swingles had the pleasure of returning to South Korea in October for the first time since 2018. We had the pleasure of headlining the Busan Choral Festival & Competition and the Daegu World Choral Festival. The trip, though super quick, was full of great music, food, and company and we can wait to return to South Korea again in the future!
