The Lapeer County Concert Choir

 

 The Lapeer County Concert Choir has been performing since 1968, known for its performances of large sacred works such as Bach's "Magnificat", Handel's "Messiah", Rutter's "Requiem", and Mozart's "Regina Coeli". 

 

As the choir moves toward its 58th year, the goal remains to promote the advancement of choral music, and reveal the healing power of voices united in song.

 

If you wish to join us, we rehearse on Tuesday nights in Lapeer at First Presbyterian Church.
