The Furman Singers, the oldest of Furman University's choral ensembles, was founded in 1946 by the late DuPre Rhame and had been under the direction of Dr. Bingham Vick, Jr. from 1970 until his retirement in 2010. The Furman Singers have started a new legacy under the direction of Dr. Hugh Floyd.
In addition to on-campus concerts and performances, the Furman Singers tour annually throughout the country. Beginning in 1974, the Singers have traveled to Europe biennially during the summer for concert tours which have included England, Scotland, Wales, France, Austria, Italy, Germany, Russia, Poland, the Czech Republic, Finland, and Estonia. The Furman Singers is recognized as one of America's premier collegiate choirs. Membership is by audition and is open to all Furman Students.
