Oshkosh Chamber Singers

The Oshkosh Chamber Singers was founded to provide the Oshkosh area with quality performances of significant choral music and to increase the cultural and educational quality of life of the community.

The group was formed in 1985 when the choirs from the Algoma Boulevard United Methodist Church and the First Congregational Church combined to perform Bach's St. John's Passion. Several of the musicians involved wanted to continue to perform works that were beyond the capabilities of any single church choir. In its thirty-plus years, OCS has performed a wide range of serious choral literature, both religious and secular. In 1990, the group performed its first holiday service of "A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols" at Trinity Episcopal Church. This has become an annual event, at which community leaders are asked to participate as readers. Beginning in 1984, two performances were given on the same day, and the concert has been recorded for broadcast on public radio.

However, all of us sing with OurSong because we love to sing. We love the gift that making music brings to our lives and we love sharing that gift with our audience.

OurSong has been active for over fifteen years. Before that, there was a gap in the Atlanta LGBTQ choral music scene. We needed a mixed chorus. Our community has not grown into the vibrant oasis in the South only on the shoulders of gay men and lesbians in isolation. It takes all of us, coming together, as a chosen family, to make progress and facilitate change. OurSong embodies this collective effort.

P.M. Singers

Formed in 1982 by students of the esteemed director Phil Mattson, members of the P.M. Singers became identified with the Phil Mattson School and many have gone on to great professional and academic success in their own right. (Two examples are Joe Finetti, who now sings with The Bobs, and Michele Weir, a respected educator and arranger.) This mixed group has the talent and range to master the most technical of charts, as well as the warmth and emotion to stir the heart-witness"A Child Is Born," with a facile piano accompaniment by Phil Mattson himself, who plays keyboards throughout. Many of the arrangements allow one voice to solo, adding and subtracting harmonies for interest and variety. "I'll Be Seeing You" is a cappella and allows the melody to shine, gradually opening up the song with a frugal harmony that never interferes, but builds to a subtle crescendo and then resolves to an elegant closing cadence, the lead voice holding the final note while the lower parts complete the subject. A pleasure to listen to and a model of arranging virtuosity.

Pacific Boychoir

Pacific Boychoir choristers participate in a very old tradition. Boychoirs have been around for hundreds of years, dating back at least to the fourth century. Early modern boychoirs were trained to sing with the collegiate and cathedral choirs of Europe. Today, most boychoirs are not affiliated with churches, though much of the great music written for boys came out of this tradition.

The Pacific Boychoir aims to match the world's best boychoirs (e.g., the Vienna Boys of Austria, Drakensberg of South Africa, the American Boychoir of Princeton). Critical reviews imply that the Pacific Boychoir is succeeding! Choristers learn that extraordinary accomplishment teaches lifelong lessons. Hard work leads to mastery. Personal responsibility and teamwork go hand in hand. The challenge of improvement leads to the joy of art well performed.
