The Appleton MacDowell Male Chorus is kicking off its 2011 season!! 

Do you enjoy singing and having fun?  If so, we invite you to become a member for our 77th year of entertaining the Fox Valley.  We sing a wide variety of music, ranging from classics and classic rock, to spiritual and patriotic. 

MacDowell has been a tradition in the Fox Valley for 77 years.  Our membership spans a wide variety of musical experience.  Becoming a member is as easy as privately singing a few bars for our conductor, Herb Berendsen, who will identify your range and place you in the appropriate section.  There is no need to come prepared with music ahead of time.  Please call our membership chairman Steve Parker at 757-8871 with any questions you may have.

We welcome you to one of our first rehearsals at St. Joseph’s Middle School, 2626 N. Oneida St. in Appleton. (Oneida St & Northland Ave / Hwy 00)
