Morris Park Singers
Morris Park Singers was originally a temporary project by Morris Park Players during the pandemic, when it wasn’t safe to stage musicals.
What started as 18 people singing “I’ll Cover You” from Rent in a cafeteria has four years later become a choir of 100 voices that will soon be performing at Carnegie Hall!
We don’t hold auditions and don’t charge dues, and are committed to making music participation accessible.
Why are we at Twin Cities Pride?
One of the Morris Park Singers' founding principles was providing a way to (re)introduce a creative music outlet back into people's lives. While not an LGBTQ+ specific organization, our choir has always committed to provide a safe space for all. Singing, especially in a group setting, requires a lot of vulnerability; we believe that fostering an inclusive and accessible space for that vulnerability is crucial to produce the music and community that is more than just surface-level.
Our founder and director, as well as our choir manager, are both members of the LGBTQ+ community, along with more than half of the singers from our most recent season, including many trans singers. We want to continue to champion the literal and figurative voices of this community, and others, to connect all of us through choral music. We hope you'll join us at one of our upcoming concerts and events!
