Minnesota enjoys a well-earned national reputation for excellence in choral music. According to Chorus America, Minnesota is home to more than a hundred independent professional, community and youth choirs in addition to thousands of school and church choirs. Prominent Minnesota composers write extensively for the voice, and in 2002 we welcomed more than 3,000 singers from around the globe to the World Choral Symposium. What’s behind this passion for singing?

Never Stop Singing celebrates Minnesota’s choral legacy through interviews with leading conductors and composers, rehearsal and performance footage, and historical background. Noted musicians Dominick Argento, Anton Armstrong, Philip Brunelle, David Cherwien, Ren Clausen, Peter Hendrickson, Maria Jette, Stephen Paulus, Robert Robinson, Kathy Saltzman Romey, and Dale Warland are among the many voices who share their insights and enthusiasm for the choral art.
