The choir has been selected four times for Classical Minnesota Public Radio’s “Taste of the Holidays” CD featuring “Minnesota’s best regional ensembles,” was the only choir outside the Twin Cities metro area selected to perform in Chorus America’s 2021 National Conference, and was one of 10 Minnesota choirs to headline the 2015 Northern Voice Festival in St. Paul.
