In April 2025, the Marquette Choral Society (MCS) will be performing three shorter works in English: Britten's Rejoice in the Lamb, Randall Thompson's Frostiana (poems by Robert Frost), and John Rutter's The Sprig of Thyme.
If you are interested in singing with us (all are welcome—-no audition) for the Winter (April) concerts, our first rehearsal is Monday, January 13, 2025, at 7:00 pm on the campus of Northern Michigan University. New and returning singers may register outside Room 250, Thomas Fine Arts Building, immediately preceding the first three Monday rehearsals (January 13th and 27th, and February 3rd; no rehearsal on January 20th). Please come early to sign up! Expect a registration fee—-this covers the cost of music and helps pay for concert expenses. Full or partial scholarships may be available.
MCS rehearses from 7 to 9 p.m., Mondays, in the NMU Choral Room (Room 250) in the Thomas Fine Arts Building.
The Spring concerts will be Saturday, April 26th, and Sunday, April 27th.
Marquette Choral Society is a mixed-voice, non-auditioned, adult choir of approximately 100 singers from a four-county region in the Upper Peninsula. MCS strives to engage, enrich, and inspire this region through the art of choral music. The ensemble was founded in 1971 by Dr. William Dehning and is currently led by musical director Dr. Erin Colwitz.
