Sing With us!
​2023-24 dates
​Deliberately blurring the line between artists and spectators, InChoir creates opportunities for participants, at any level of musical ability, to get inside the rehearsal process. Hosted and conducted by Chorale Artistic Director Kathy Saltzman Romey, InChoir participants experience close-up and first-hand the gratifying work that culminates in polished performances by one of the finest choruses in the nation.

Choral singing has the power to draw strangers together as friends in a common musical experience. Since 2002, the Minnesota Chorale's InChoir program has enabled participants to get acquainted with great choral music by singing side-by-side with members of the Chorale at a working rehearsal.

More than simply a rehearsal, InChoir events are stimulating, engaging choral experiences designed to illuminate music and text while revealing the historical and cultural influences that shaped their creation
If you'd like a long-term relationship with Minnesota Chorale, auditions are held annually.  Click the button below to learn more!

Carmina Burana InChoir in collaboration with Minnesota Dance Theatre dancers, Minnesota Chorale and YOU!
Thursday, January 11 – 7-9:45pm – Westminster Hall
​
Barb Brooks, pianist and conductor
​
MDT company dancers join the Minnesota Chorale and YOU for an electrifying dance and musical sing along set to Carl Orff's brilliant score. Drawing inspiration from the silent songs of the 13th century vagrant monk's poetic homage to passion, Carmina Burana brings the earthly rumblings of love and lust, mixed with the human pangs of fortune and fate, to a fully expressive celebration in a hedonistic romp of bodies, music, and movement.
