Festival Choir of Madison is an auditioned choir in Madison, WI of approx. 60 skilled singers.

Festival Choir of Madison is an auditioned choir of approximately 50 skilled singers who come from all walks of life to make music together.

We strive to offer musically outstanding choral events unl

Supported in part by a grant from the Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the State of Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts.

🧠Rehersal wisdom with Sergei🧠
Our incredible artistic director, Sergei Pavlov, shares nuggets of wisdom like this in our rehearsals. This is so helpful to us as we develop our concert repertoire for context, artistic practice, and general understanding and appreciation for the works we sing!
Join us for a special pre-concert talk with Artistic Director Sergei Pavlov, to learn more about the history of Haydn’s works. After a brief intermission, the concert will follow.
This is a great opportunity to gain a richer understanding of these wonderfully complex and nuanced works!
