To enrich our society, educate our communities, and develop our singers, we preserve the past, promote the present and foster the future of the choral art. Meistersingers was formed in Orange County, California, in 2000 as a response to a growing demand for quality choral music performance. Created to be a Chamber ensemble specializing in demanding classical choral works, Meistersingers maintains high standards in literature and chooses outstanding performance venues with beauty and elegance equal to the music. We are committed to continuing this path and expanding our influence in the music community through different means such as composition competitions and scholarships. Our goal is to ensure the continued growth of the choral art.  less
