World Singing Day

World Singing Day · Saturday, October 17, 2026 · Fairfax, Virginia

Room forEveryone

That's the name of this year's World Singing Day anthem, and we're taking it literally. On the third Saturday of October, people on every continent sing the same song. The Fairfax Jubil-Aires are giving Northern Virginia two ways to be part of it — one for singers who want to learn the arrangement, one for anyone who just wants to sing.

Still from the 2025 World Singing Day global montage video

World Singing Day 2025 — the global montage. Our part starts at 2:30.

How it went last year

United In Song

2025 was our first World Singing Day. We learned All of Us — also arranged by Deke Sharon — invited every group we could find to learn it with us, and brought in Debra Lynn for bel canto coaching on the day we recorded.

World Singing Day used our take as the ending of the montage they built from clips sent in by groups all over the world. It was a lot of fun. We would like to do it again, with more of you in the room.
