Crescendo Community Chorus

We are a non-audition, adult, SATB community chorus in the Twin Cities that welcomes all who seek to have fun singing, performing, and socializing together. We sing choral pieces from diverse periods and cultures.

Singing with us can fit into a busy life.

Here is a link to a video of A Vision Unfolding.

2024–25 Season

Fall

Concert: Thursday, Nov. 14, 2024, 7:30 pm, Normandale Lutheran Church. If you couldn’t attend in person, you can watch a video.
Music: Misa a Buenos Aires (Misatango), by Martin Palmieri. Scored for chorus, bandoneon, strings and piano, this daring work juxtaposes ancient latin texts with the harmonies, syncopated rhythms and sensuality of Argentinian Tango.  See why performers and audience members are so taken by Palmeri’s creation.

Winter

Concert: Thursday, Feb. 27, 2025, 7:30 pm, Calvary Christian Reformed Church
Rehearsals: Tuesdays Jan. 7–Feb. 25
Music:  A Vision Unfolding, by Kyle Pederson. Minnesota composer Kyle Pederson combines elements of gospel, jazz, classical, and pop in this piece.  Centered around themes of social justice, this extended work invites the choir, dancers and audience into a compelling vision of a world rooted in compassion, freedom, inclusivity, and justice. 
We are thrilled to be collaborating with the innovative and award winning choreographer Darrius Strong and his extraordinary company of dancers, STRONGmovement, for what promises to be a transformative evening. 

Spring

Concert: Thursday, May 15, 2025, 7:30 pm, DeLaSalle High School
Rehearsals: Tuesdays March 25–May 13
