Sing with us!
We’re a vibrant mixed chorus singing a variety of music in assorted styles in an artistic manner. We are looking for singers of ALL voice types (tenors and basses are especially needed).
We have a blast rehearsing together and sharing our love of music with the community at our epic Fall and Spring concerts. Our rehearsals are on Mondays from 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM, September to April, in the Thompson Recital Hall (BG 250) at Bemidji State University’s Bangsberg Fine Arts Complex.
Ready to belt it out? We are!
Contact Isaac Lovdahl for more info: isaac.lovdahl@bemidjistate.edu.
Here’s what makes us awesome:
Fun and Rewarding: We create beautiful music while learning how to sing better and have a great time doing it.
Inclusive: All voice parts are welcome (seriously, we need you!)
Community-Focused: We share our passion with Bemidji through stunning concerts.
Don’t wait! We’d love to hear from you.
