The Master Singers have collaborated with prominent conductors/ composers including Jackson Berkey, Eph Ehly, James Fritschel, Dale Grotenhuis, Dan
Kallman, James Mulholland, Z. Randall Stroope and Jeffrey Van. This collaboration
has involved annual commissioned work for the ensemble by noted American
choral composers. The Master Singers have appeared in concert with the
Chippewa Valley Symphony, Eau Claire Chamber Orchestra, Philadelphia Brass,
and gospel singer Robert Robinson. 

The Master Singers have been a guest artist in the Missa Choralis Series at the Basilica of Saint Mary in Minneapolis since 1997 and on artist series, including the Richland Concert Association in Richland Center and the Heyde Center for the Arts
in Chippewa Falls. The Master Singers will premiere a choral work by Jeffrey Van in December 2010. The ensemble has been featured on Wisconsin Public Radio in an annual broadcast of their holiday concert since 2006.

“The Master Singers are second to none! Their singing is the perfect
balance of heart and voice, tone quality is ingratiating, sense of
ensemble is never sacrificed, musicianship is of the highest degree.
The result is an exhilarating musical experience of the highest order!” 
-- Dr. Eph Ehly, Professor Emeritus, University of Missouri-Kansas City
