Welcome to our 2025-26 season!

The Mississippi Valley Women’s Chorale performs with the Choral Arts Treble Singers in a joint concert celebrating the power and beauty of women's voices. The MVWC was founded in 2011 by Judy Sagen and has quickly become a marquee community choir in Minnesota. Enjoy the combined artistry of these two top-notch Minnesota treble choirs.

Join us as the Choral Arts choirs present Ralph Vaughan Williams’ Mass in G Minor and Gustav Holst’s Hymns from the Rig Veda. Blending traditional liturgical elements with his unique harmonic language, Vaughan Williams described his a cappella mass as an expression of Christian faith and an exploration of the spiritual human experience. Holst’s faith journey was more eclectic, including a long fascination and study of Sanskrit and Indian philosophy. In his Hymns, Holst combines the lyricism, harmonies, and innovative textures for which he is known with the text and energy of the Indian Rig Veda.

Accompanying these two pillars of British repertoire, the Choral Arts choirs offer a range of classical and popular selections from composers such as Thomas Tallis, William Byrd, Edward Elgar, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, Ken Burton, Bob Chilcott, Cecilia McDowell, and Jacob Collier.

Step into the warmth and wonder of the season with Christmas at Assisi: O Radiant Dawn, celebrating the light that breaks through winter’s darkness. Featuring beloved carols, evocative contemporary works, and timeless choral classics, this program invites you to reflect, rejoice, and be renewed. Each piece will reflect the ancient promise of Christmas and the hope the season brings. Join us at Assisi to share in this beautiful Choral Arts tradition and let your heart be lifted by our song.

“This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival.” - Jalaluddin Rumi
