Introducing our 2018-2019 Season:
Journeys
This year, the Minnesota Center Chorale, is taking you on more than one journey. In October, the Mozart Requiem will commemorate the journey from life into death and beyond. Our Christmas Cabaret concert takes us across the Atlantic to the British Isles whereas in March, we journey back home to reflect on our need for comfort and to belong. Tentatively, our final concert will cover a wide expanse as we traverse the United States, celebrating the music, people, and cultures of different regions which together make our nation so special.

Introducing the new Artistic Director, Lukas Perry
Lukas Perry is very excited to be joining the Minnesota Center Chorale as they begin their 45th Anniversary Season. Perry is a conductor, keyboardist, and music scholar. He recently earned his Master of Music in Choral Conducting and Master of Arts in Music Theory from the University of Minnesota. There, he conducted choral ensembles and taught music theory courses at all levels. Perry is currently the Director of Music and Liturgy at the historic Church of the Assumption in downtown St. Paul.
Perry has worked with the Minnesota Chorale and Oratorio Society of Minnesota in the preparation of major works such as Brahms’ Requiem, Verdi’s Requiem, Mendelssohn’s Elijah, and a program of “Great Opera Choruses.” During the summer of 2015, Perry received a Graduate Research Grant from the University of Minnesota to study and perform the choral music of Anton Bruckner in Passau, Germany. In March 2017, he was invited to present his research on Bruckner at the South-Central Society for Music Theory Conference in Memphis, TN.
