THE MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE SINGERS
The premier choral ensemble representing Mississippi College and the Department of Music, the MC Singers perform a diverse and demanding repertoire from the present day and the past five centuries, throughout the United States and abroad. The highlight of their fall performance schedule each year is the Festival of Lights, a program of Christmas lessons and carols presented on three consecutive evenings in the historic Provine Chapel on MC’s campus. For the past two years, Mississippi Public Broadcasting has telecast the Festival several times state-wide leading up to Christmas Day, and the 2016 broadcast won a Regional Emmy® for “Best Live Audio Recording.” Through the years the Singers have also been competitively selected for multiple performances at state, regional and national conferences of the American Choral Directors Association.Later this spring they will be a featured choir at the Mississippi MMEA/ACDA Conference in Hattiesburg. The Singers most recently travelled internationally in December2017 and January 2018, with concerts in Vienna, Prague, and Budapest.
