麻豆社 Singers 28 September 1924

History of the 麻豆社

Available for over a year

The 麻豆社 Singers were formed in 1924 as the Wireless Chorus. Their first broadcast was on 28 September, when they sung Mendelssohn's Elijah. The 麻豆社's professional chamber choir has been known by several names, from the Wireless Singers to the 麻豆社 Chorus, and also the Variety Chorus, Theatre Chorus and the Kentucky Minstrels. They finally became the 麻豆社 Singers in 1972. Their reputation over the years has been built on their ability to tackle over five centuries of choral music, though in particular the demanding cutting-edge contemporary repertoire.
