Community Chorus

Based in Livonia, MI

ln 1965 the choir of St. Maurice Church of Livonia was disbanded. The members, however, shared a love of choral music and continued singing in members' homes. One of the members heard that the Livonia Department of Parks and Recreation was considering sponsoring a mixed singing group. The director of the department was approached with the proposal that the former choir could form the nucleus of that group. A public notice announcing the formation of the group and inviting new members was published. Thus, the Livonia Civic Chorus, as it came to be known, was born.

The music of the chorus ranges from simple unison numbers to challenging, intricate harmonies. But more than just vocal talent has been exhibited when costumes, sets, choreography, creative writing and organizational skills are considered. Artistic talent, creativity and a dedicated work ethic are essential to the continued success of the Chorus.

The Chorus prepares for two main Concerts a year. The first rehearsal session begins in September as the Chorus prepares for a winter holiday show performed in December. The second rehearsal session begins in January to prepare for the spring show in May.

In addition, there are about 15 performances each season in the Livonia community known as "Outreach Performances" or the "Musical Interlude for Seniors."

Founded - 1965.
