The Oshkosh Chamber Singers was founded to provide the Oshkosh area with quality performances of significant choral music and to increase the cultural and educational quality of life of the community.
The group was formed in 1985 when the choirs from the Algoma Boulevard United Methodist Church and the First Congregational Church combined to perform Bach’s St. John’s Passion. Several of the musicians involved wanted to continue to perform works that were beyond the capabilities of any single church choir. In its thirty-plus years, OCS has performed a wide range of serious choral literature, both religious and secular. In 1990, the group performed its first holiday service of “A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols” at Trinity Episcopal Church. This has become an annual event, at which community leaders are asked to participate as readers. Beginning in 1984, two performances were given on the same day, and the concert has been recorded for broadcast on public radio.
The Madison Chamber Choir, founded in 1991 and based in Madison, WI, is a non-profit auditioned ensemble comprised of music educators, music students and skilled amateurs.
MCC’s mission is to keep the tradition of performing choral chamber music alive and to inspire a variety of audiences to support and appreciate this collaborative art form. MCC performs music written by a variety of composers, from the art form’s inception to more recent compositions, including newly commissioned works. The choir’s goal is to attain choral excellence, giving performances of the highest quality.
