Our History

The Morris Park Singers was founded in January of 2022 as an offshoot of Morris Park Players. The Minneapolis-based choir first rehearsed in the cafeteria at Grace Lutheran Church, and then the sanctuary of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, before landing in its current home at Mill City Church. The choir was created in an effort to take MPP back to its roots. Morris Park Players started back in 1952 as the Morris Park Father Singers. Over the years, the group transformed and expanded its repertoire, first changing in 1968 to the Morris Park Singers, before eventually becoming Morris Park Players in 1981. With the Singers, Morris Park as a whole hopes to broaden its artistic outreach in the Northeast Minneapolis community and the rest of the metro by providing quality choral music to audiences and opportunities for individuals to contribute and develop their musical talents. The Morris Park Singers is proud to be a part of the rich choral music community in the Twin Cities.

About the Choir

The Morris Park Singers is a non-auditioned community choir based out of NE Minneapolis, rehearsing and performing at Mill City Church. They do two “mini-seasons” a year, one in the fall and one in the spring, in an effort to provide a simpler and easier time commitment for their singers. They rehearse once a week for two hours, preparing for their concert at the end of each season. As they are under the Morris Park Players umbrella, there is a slight repertoire focus on popular and Broadway, but they still do a wide variety of choral music (anything from Renaissance motets to gospel arrangements to larger Classical movements and everything in between).
