Organized in 1972, The Dale Warland Singers is a 47-voice professional choral ensemble based in - St. Paul, Minnesota. Members are selected through demanding annual auditions, and must re-audition each year. The opportunity to sing in the ensemble attracts quality singers from all parts of the United States. Most of the singers have studied voice privately, and many are employed in a professional music capacity in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. The diversity of choral literature performed by The Dale Warland Singers is extensive. While building a broad repertoire of standard a cappella choral music, the ensemble has made one of its most significant contributions with artistic performances of 20th-century music. The long Iist of composers represented by its performance repertoire indicates a wide variety of nationalities and musical styles. The Dale Warland Singers ensemble appears regularly with The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra. Minnesota Orchestra, and Minnesota Opera. In 1977, it toured Scandinavia at the request of the Swedish and Nor- wegian Radio. The ensemble concertizes throughout the central portion of the United States and broad- casts regularly over Minnesota Public Radio and National Public Radio. In addition, The Dale Warland Singers may be heard on eight recordings: Echoes of Christmas (Augsburg; digital), Choral Mosaic (Augsburg; digital), La Fiesta de la Posada (CBS Masterworks; digital), 250 Years of Great Choral Music (Musical Heritage Society; digital), Swedish Choral Ballads (Walton), Gloria (Walton), Carols of Christmas (Augsburg, digital), and Americana-A Bit of Folk (Augsburg).
