Concordia Choir Concert

Concordia Choir Concert

Presented by First United Methodist Church and Colorado Springs Children's Chorale at First United Methodist Church

The Concordia Choir of Moorhead, Minnesota, continues to affirm its reputation as one of America’s finest a cappella choirs. Since 1920, the 69-voice choir has performed in nearly every major hall including Carnegie Hall and Kennedy Center as well as numerous international tours.

A February 2010 performance and recording session with the Grammy Award-winning King’s  Singers and numerous National and Division ACDA Conference performances highlight the choir’s world-class quality. In May 2017, the Choir toured Germany and Austria in celebration of the 500th Anniversary of the Protestant Reformation.

The Concordia Choir is featured in the Emmy Award-winning Concordia Christmas Concerts, which are nationally broadcast on public television. The choir’s recordings are distributed internationally and through iTunes, making it one of the top-selling choirs in the country.

Dr. Michael Culloton is the fourth conductor in the Choir’s illustrious history, assuming the role in 2020 following former conductor René Clausen’s retirement. Dr. Culloton serves as a guest conductor, clinician, and lecturer throughout the country. Along with his twin brother, Dr. Culloton is the co-editor of the Matthew and Michael Culloton Choral Series with Santa Barbara Music Publishing Inc. He has been recognized as the Minnesota ACDA Young Conductor of the Year and also received the ACDA/VocalEssence Creative Programming Award for his work with the Choral Arts Ensemble of Rochester, Minn. The 2022 tour will be Dr. Culloton’s first tour as conductor of The Concordia Choir.

2022’s National Tour of the Southwest spans 16 days and includes locations between Los Angeles and Minneapolis.
