The Singers

Performing ArtsMinnesota, United States11-50 Employees

Founded in 2004 by Artistic Director Matthew Culloton, The Singers share inspiring, innovative choral artistry that evolves with the changing world. This 40-voice, professional ensemble is recognized nationally for their innovative programming, commitment to new music, and stunning artistic quality. They made their debut at the renowned Ravinia Festival in June 2013, and have performed there four times.

The Singers and Dr. Culloton embrace educational collaborations with school choirs around Minnesota. Singing “shoulder to shoulder” with high school students in concert settings has inspired thousands of young musicians who have never experienced music making at a professional level.

The choir has premiered nearly 90 new works by their composer-in-residence Timothy C. Takach, Abbie Betinis, Craig Carnahan, Jocelyn Hagen, Linda Kachelmeier, Stephen Paulus, Joshua Shank, Tesfa Wondemagegnehu, Matthew Culloton, and others. Nine commercial recordings have been released, including Lauridsen: Mid-Winter Songs, which featured prominently in a documentary film, Shining Night, about the life and works of internationally recognized composer Morten Lauridsen. The Singers have performed at numerous national and state conferences of Chorus America, the American Choral Directors Association, the American Guild of Organists, and the National Federation of Music Clubs.
