Mission Statement:
The stated mission of the Saginaw Choral Society is to provide an opportunity for quality singers to join together in singing and performing fine choral music so as to contribute to the enjoyment, musical growth and education of residents of the Saginaw Valley.

It views its role in preserving and promoting the choral art, and in regularly performing master works from the classical choral music literature, as a priority in maintaining the firm artistic integrity of the organization, and in contributing to the cultural landscape of the community.

About Us:
The Saginaw Choral Society (SCS) is a 100 member, auditioned, volunteer performance ensemble which annually presents a season of classical, contemporary and popular concerts for the community. The chorus has earned much critical acclaim, has garnered local, state and national awards and honors, and has built a substantial regional following.

For the past two decades, the arts organization has presented an annual Saginaw Choral Society Christmas Concert featuring a myriad of internationally acclaimed artists, including Andy Williams, Tony Bennett, Doc Severinsen, Rosemary Clooney, Sandi Patty, Michael Feinstein, Kathy Mattea, Burt Bacharach, The Canadian Brass, Lee Greenwood, and Brian d'Arcy James. The Choral Society has also appeared with the indomitable William Warfield, The Boys Choir of Harlem, Dave Brubeck, Dr. Robert Page, Brazeal Dennard, and Bay City's own Kevin Cole.

By providing mentoring opportunities, in-school performances, and concert ticket incentives, the Choral Society advances vocal art appreciation and nurtures young talent. The Choral Society awards scholarships for summer music study at Interlochen Music Camp and the Joanne E. Robertson Scholarship to a graduating high school senior who plans to continue music studies in college.
