The Mendelssohn Choir of Pittsburgh (MCP) is a professional-level choral organization based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with a history dating back to 1908. The choir collaborates regularly with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, performing symphonic choral works and expanding audiences for live classical music through inventive programming and collaborations. In addition to standard concert settings, MCP explores contemporary and cross-genre projects, including commissions such as Satan’s Fall, and aims to broaden access to choral performance through distinctive venues and partnerships. MCP also supports the next generation of singers through the Junior Mendelssohn Choir of Pittsburgh, established to provide high school youth with advanced choral training. The ensemble's work is distributed through local broadcast channels and national radio partnerships, extending its reach beyond the concert hall. Recent organizational developments include leadership appointments intended to shape its artistic direction, while maintaining its role as a key cultural contributor in the Pittsburgh region.
