Marquette Choral Society is a mixed-voice adult choir comprising approximately 100 singers who come from a four-county region in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
We perform four to five live choral concerts annually, each featuring fresh repertoire and many in collaboration with orchestral musicians and guest soloists, and work with regional radio stations to spread our music to a wider audience. We also commission and premiere pieces by accomplished composers, and often feature thematic programming that emphasizes collaboration.
The MCS is led by a dedicated community-based board of directors who contribute professional skills and experience to help us fulfill our mission.
The Marquette Choral Society is committed to maintaining a culture of diversity, equity and inclusion in our performance group and in our leadership. We believe that when people feel respected and included, they can be more creative, innovative, and empowered to share their experiences and ideas, making MCS successful.

Marquette Choral Society will be recognized as being a leading choral performance group for Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
