Flint Symphony Chorus
FIM Flint Symphony Chorus traces its roots to the Flint Choral Union which predated FIM’s forerunner: Flint Community Music Association. Under the influence and patronage of J. Dallas Dort, choral music flourished as the city of Flint expanded in population and economic power. Although the chorus has been known by many names in its one hundred-plus year history, it maintains the proud tradition of bringing a community of musicians together to share a mutual love of singing and performance.
What we do
Led by director Nada Radakovich, the Flint Symphony Chorus (FSC) rehearses on Monday evenings at FIM Dort Music Center from September through May. Rehearsals include voice-building exercises, sight-reading, and learning the repertoire for upcoming concerts. exercises to discover all the best ways to make the music sing.
The FSC presents three concerts each year. In December, the choir appears on the always sold-out Flint Symphony Orchestra Holiday Pops at the Whiting Auditorium. The FSC also performs on one FSO Classical Concert and is featured in a choral masterworks program, accompanied by a small ensemble of FSO musicians.
How to participate
Auditions are required for new members. The auditions serve to connect the conductor with new singers, welcome them into the fold, and find the correct placement for them in the choir. We are seeking enthusiastic, committed singers with a great love for choral music and the choral art.
