The Big Sing: April 11, 2015

The Rochester Male Chorus held the 2015 Big Sing. We hosted about 300 male voices from 11 member choruses based in Minnesota, Wisconsin and North Dakota. Six choruses, including RMC, performed solo numbers. The remaining selections were performed en masse by all of the choruses. The Classic Brass, a popular brass quintet in southeast Minnesota, also performed. Robin Wolfram from KTTC-TV, our local NBC affiliate, was our emcee.

About 300 singers at the 2015 Big Sing in Rochester. The RMC guys are in the second row.

This activity was made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.

Minnesota's Legacy

Support for the Big Sing has also been provided through a generous grant from the Carl and Verna Schmidt Foundation.
