NON PROFIT US POSTAGE Now in its fourteenth season, the Milwaukee Choral Artists is Wisconsin’s premiere professional choral ensemble, and one of only a handful of professional women’s vocal ensembles in the country. With its signature lush sound, MCA brings a distinctive repertory of choral and vocal masterworks—including well-known pieces, new music, seldom-performed works, and music of diverse cultures and historical periods—to concert audiences throughout the region. Founded in 1998 as a chamber ensemble comprised of professional solo singers, MCA occupies a distinctive position of excellence in the city, state, and region. Regularly hailed for its imaginative programming, the group has firmly established itself in the mainstream of professional music making both within and beyond Milwaukee. The Milwaukee Choral Artists enjoys regular appearances with Present Music, Milwaukee’s internationally acclaimed contemporary music ensemble. Equally well versed in early music, the Milwaukee Choral Artists has also collaborated with Early Music Now, performing twice with internationally acclaimed The Boston Camerata, as well as joining professional female vocal ensemble KITKA in a special concert. MCA has also performed as part of the Fine Arts Concert Series at the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist (Milwaukee) and St. James Cathedral (Chicago); at the National Convention of Catholic Cathedral Musicians; at the National Convention of Lutheran Church Musicians; and in state and regional conventions of the American Choral Directors’ Association. Its Tenth Anniversary commercial CD, SKYBORN MUSIC, features commissioned works composed specifically for the Milwaukee Choral Artists in celebration of its distinguished history.
