"MRC has been a wonderful addition to my life since I found them. I had been away from choral music or a long time, but felt welcomed by the group and challenged by the repertoire presented with each season. It has been awesome to get to watch the younger choirs grow musically, as well as to see MRC get and become much more than a chorus, but to become a community."
-Amy Lillard
"I was uncertain about trying out MRC when I first heard about it, having sung in other community choirs before and feeling that I was too busy to add one more thing into my life. But at the urging of a friend, I came, and then I never wanted to leave! MRC is unique in that it combines the sociality and personal connection of high school choir, with the musicality and expectations of college choir--best of both worlds in my opinion!! You will find friends, you will find a place of belonging, you will feel valued, you will make incredible music, and you will grow as a musician. MRC has totally been worth making time for."
