About the Singers' Club
The Singers’ Club of Cleveland, a male chorus, was established in 1891,
and gave its first official public performance May 19, 1892. The Club grew to
become a substantial chorus in Cleveland, with as many as 125 singers. Today,
The Singers’ Club balances a blend of traditions and innovations. Our repertoire
is unique and challenging. Our membership is diverse and now draws singers from
many Northeast Ohio communities. The Singers’ Club has awarded scholarships
for many years and takes pride in those whom it supports. Award recipients are
often featured soloists in The Singers’ Club’s concert season.
S. Livingston Mather
S. Livingston Mather was a dedicated member of The Singers’ Club for many
years and a devoted friend until his death in 1960. The Singers’ Club is
grateful to the Trustees of the S. Livingston Mather Charitable Trust for the
funding of the grand prize scholarship.
George L. Hackett
George L. Hackett was a member of The Singers’ Club for fifty years. He
served the Club in many capacities, including president, and was awarded honorary
membership in 1993. Three years ago, his sister and brother-in-law, Jean and
Robert Arnold, established a scholarship fund in his name. Subsequently, many
others have contributed to the George L. Hackett Scholarship Endowment Fund
as a memorial to this fine gentleman.
Albert Rees Davis
Albert Rees Davis provided musical leadership to The Singers’ Club during
his many years as conductor from 1906 to 1919. At his death, the Albert Rees
Davis Endowment Fund was created. The fund has given sustaining support to The
Singers’ Club of Cleveland ever since. Up to three fellowship awards are
provided by the Albert Rees Davis Endowment Fund.
