A Long Tradition
of Song...
As the premiere vocal chorus in the area, the Waukesha Choral Union has
been musically active in the community for over 50 years.
Originally a combination of the Carroll College student chorus and
community singers known as the Waukesha Choral Society in 1949, the
group became the Town and Gown in 1961 and the Waukesha Choral Union in
1974, taking its present form as an auditioned choir in 1978. |
