Bach Chamber Choir, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1969 the Bach Chamber Choir & Orchestra was formed by a group of singers and instrumentalists who desired that there be a group to focus on early choral and instrumental chamber music, especially music from the Baroque and Classical periods. Then, as now, the group was a volunteer group. (From Official Website.)
Brian McLinden has been the director/conductor of the Choir since 1993.
At it's inception, the group performed only works of JS Bach, but later expanded it's repertoire to include other works of classical and fine arts. In the 2006 season the group will give a concert named "De Colores, The Colors of Latin Music", featuring songs in Spanish and Latin as well as English. "An Italian Baroque Christmas." A Palm Sunday performance named, "Kirchenmusik Sacred music of the German Romantic composers." and "All Creatures Great and Small Aarvarks, Zebras and everything in between."
Members are required to audition before they may join and must pay dues.
