Our Story

Our mission is to provide area singers and accompanying instrumentalists with the opportunity to perform great choral music in a wide variety of styles, and to share that music with the Central Wisconsin community. We are based in Stevens Point Wisconsin, with singers coming from across the Central Wisconsin region, including Portage, Marathon, Waupaca, Waushara, and Wood counties. While our singers come from a wide variety of ages, backgrounds, and occupations, we all share a love of singing and dedication to the choral arts.

Monteverdi currently presents three concerts each season, with traditional concert programs in December and April, plus a February Cabaret. This dinner concert and fund-raiser features a kaleidoscopic variety of popular music performed by individual choir members and small ensembles in addition to the full chorale. In addition, Monteverdi performs occasionally for community events, and smaller ensembles from the chorale are available to perform at private functions.

While we take pride in the quality and diversity of our own performances, we also collaborate with other local, regional, and sometimes international performing organizations. We have shared the stage with the Wausau Lyric Choir, the Central Wisconsin Symphony Orchestra, and choral ensembles from Green Bay, Appleton, and Oshkosh. We have been invited multiple times to perform at Wisconsin Choral Directors Association state-wide conferences. While most of Monteverdi’s performances are in central Wisconsin, we have also traveled across the country and internationally, bringing our music to Washington DC, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, and Ireland. Our most recent concert tour, in June 2016, took us to Montreal, Quebec City, and Burlington VT.
