Repertoire. Tours. Events. What we sing
The RiverTones deliver a captivating musical experience with our diverse repertoire.
Every year, we proudly host the highly anticipated Contemporary Vocal Ensemble Festival, this year featuring renowned clinician Deke Sharon! Our Annual SpringSing! Concert showcases a delightful fusion of jazz, pop, and standards spanning various eras. We are also a featured ensemble at graduation and convocation ceremonies, whether singing our alma mater song, the National Anthem, or something from our wide-ranging repertoire. This year, we are honored to perform a concert at Disney World in Orlando, FL!
We love collaborating and frequently invite guest choirs and clinicians including the inimitable Kirby Shaw. We make many special guest appearances, including a remarkable performance with GenerationW in 2019 and a memorable showcase at the 探花族 Children's Chorus First Coast Honor Choirs Festival.
Please browse our upcoming events and make sure to attend in-person or virtually.

鈥淚 had the privilege of being a member of the RiverTones and Student Director for 3 years. I was exposed to a wide variety of genres and vocal styles such as blues, pop music, and even reimagined classical opera pieces. Here I improved my leadership skills in a hands-on setting by leading Friday sectionals. While I can attribute many musical victories to the RiverTones, the main victory is the friendships I formed. Being in an all-female vocal jazz ensemble has given me life-long friends, confidants, and supporters in the professional world. Thanks to Professor Barone and all the past and current Tones, I feel extremely well prepared for my future.鈥�
SpringSing! 2024The Girl from Ipanema
We love exploring many styles of music, but a Brazilian bossa nova is particularly infectuous. Here's a taste of the RiverTones performing Astrud Gilberto's classic tune.
