MADISON SYMPHONY CHORUS
Beverly Taylor, Director

A Crowning Jewel
"Without the artistry of the Madison Symphony Chorus, under the expert direction of Beverly Taylor, Your Symphony could not present many of the most magnificent works in the repertoire. It is the talent and dedication of the Chorus that make some of our most exciting performances possible." - John DeMain

The History of the Chorus
Formed in 1927, the Madison Symphony Chorus gave its first public performance on February 23, 1928, and has performed regularly with the Madison Symphony Orchestra ever since. The chorus is comprised of more than 125 volunteer musicians who come from all walks of life who enjoy combining their artistic talent.

Making Beautiful Music
In recent seasons, the Chorus has joined the MSO for such awe-inspiring works as Mahler's Symphony of a Thousand, Orff's Carmina Burana, Debussy's mystical Nocturnes, Rossini's jubilant Stabat Mater, Mozart's Requiem, Holst's The Planets and the magnificent Verdi Requiem. The Chorus is always featured prominently for beloved holiday favorites at John DeMain's annual Christmas Spectacular. Upcoming performances include excerpts from Mussorgsky's powerful Boris Godunov. The Chorus also performs occasionally at the Free Community Hymn Sings and other special events throughout the year.
New Members Always Welcome!
Whether you're a sweet soprano, a booming bass or anything in between, the Madison Symphony Chorus always welcomes new singers. It's a wonderful way to meet and perform with others who share your love of singing. The chorus rehearses once a week on Tuesday evenings -- more often during performance weeks. Auditions, by appointment, are held in September.
