Minnesota Valley Chorale

Minnesota Valley Chorale is a community choir in Southern Minnesota.
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. Works from the Renaissance and Baroque periods are regularly performed in their original language. A tradition has also been established by the Choral to showcase the efforts of Minnesota composers. Major works are usually performed with orchestral accompaniment.
