Hi,
I’m new to Wisconsin (working in Manitowoc) and looking for a choir to sing in. Looking for professional, semi-professional, or high-standard community choir. I’ve been here 2 months and am feeling settled enough to start getting involved.
Let me know what’s out there!
Thanks,
Katrina Welborn

Hi Katrina,
I am in Door County right now on vacation and perhaps can steer you toward something. We try to vacation in Door during the Peninsula Music Festival, usually the first two weeks of August. Last Saturday, we attended a concert, Mostly Mozart, with half the concert choral music (Ave Verum, Coronation Mass by WAM and a Handel Coronation Anthem, I think #4). The chorus was two groups, the Madison Choral Project (from Madison, WI) and the Peninsula Music Festival Chorus (which I believe is a group put together for this concert and other events). They sounded pretty decent. Go to the PMF website http://www.musicfestival.com (the best website name ever!) and see if you can call someone in the office to find out more about the chorus or someone who can steer you toward other groups in the area. Last concert of the year is this Saturday, so call soon, while someone is in the office.
If you do sing in the PMF chorus next year, I expect to meet you for coffee and a good chat when I come up!
Good luck and hope this helps,
Marie
