The Morris Park Singers had their first rehearsal in the cafeteria of Grace Lutheran Church in January 2022. The choir was originally envisioned as a temporary performance outlet during the Covid-19 pandemic by the Minneapolis theatre company Morris Park Players, however it quickly experienced massive growth and success, more than doubling in size in its first two seasons. 

​

It became apparent that there was a specific type of person who the choir was connecting with: someone who had been involved in music earlier in their lives, whether through school, family, or community, and wanted to incorporate a musical outlet back into their life. In an effort to make the group as accessible as possible, they have two “mini-seasons” a year, one in the fall and one in the spring, rehearsing once a week for two hours in an effort to provide manageable time commitment for singers; they also charge no dues to singers. They perform a wide variety of choral music, from Renaissance motets to gospel arrangements and everything in between, and always include some popular and musical theatre repertoire as a nod to their roots in the Morris Park Players.
