For the fifth time since 1999, Fort Smith First United Methodist Church is hosting The Concordia Choir, Moorhead, MN, a world-renowned choir, perhaps the most recorded choir in our country. They are honored to be bringing this magnificent choral treat to our Fort Smith community again. The ticket revenue in its entirety is donated to the Choir.
Since 1920, the 72-voice choir has performed in nearly every major hall including Carnegie Hall and Kennedy Center as well as numerous international tours.
The Choir’s world-class quality is highlighted in a recording session with the Grammy Award-winning King’s Singers. In May 2017, the Choir toured Germany in observation of the 500th Anniversary of the Reformation. In May 2022, The Concordia Choir traveled to Italy, singing in some of the most beautiful temples in the world including St. Peter’s Basilica.
The Concordia Choir is featured in the Emmy-winning Concordia Christmas Concerts, which are nationally broadcast on public television. The choir’s recordings are distributed by Concordia Recordings nationally, internationally, and through iTunes, making it one of the top-selling choirs in the country.
Dr. Michael Culloton is the fourth director in the choir’s 100-year history. Along with his twin brother, Culloton is also the co-editor of the Matthew and Michael Culloton Choral Series with Santa Barbara Music Publishing Inc. In 2009, he was a featured conductor in “Never Stop Singing,” a documentary about the history of choral music in Minnesota.
