About Us
The Middle Tennessee Choral Society was organized in 1969 and became a chartered nonprofit in 1984 with Music Director/Conductor Raphael Bundage and General Manager Kay Garrison. Since then, choirs from elementary through high school have periodically performed with the Society to gain music understanding in settings they might otherwise not experience.The Choral Society has brought many fine performers to the Murfreesboro stage, including James Earl Jones for Copeland’s Lincoln Portrait, as well as international soprano Christine Brewer for Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis. The Choral Society has traveled throughout the United States and Europe, including two invitations to perform at Carnegie Hall. European tours have included concerts in Austria, England, France, Italy and Scandinavia.The Middle Tennessee Choral Society is currently under the direction of MTSU's Angela Tipps, who has helped diversify its members and music.
