Minnesota Valley Chorale

Minnesota Valley Chorale is a community choir in Southern Minnesota.  Based in Mankato, we have members from 12 surrounding communities.

Funds raised during 2024's Give to the Max Day campaign will go to our general fund.  They will be used for expenses such as accompanying musician fees, director's salary, purchasing of sheet music, or rental of concert venues.  

MVC was established in the fall of 1978 by founding director Randi Ellefson and a handful of close friends with the intent to establish a quality choral performing group in the southern Minnesota area. It has evolved into an outstanding adult choral ensemble which presents performances in the fall and spring in various locations throughout southern Minnesota.

While its members come from many different backgrounds and occupations, the mission of the Chorale is to be a leader in singing varied, rich, and timeless chorale music, and to inspire and enrich singers and audiences through practice, performance, and partnership.

The Chorale strives to bring to its audience a broad range of great musical literature.  A tradition has also been established by the Choral to showcase the efforts of Minnesota composers.
