Based in Minneapolis/St. Paul, The Dale Warland Singers are recognized as one of the world's foremost a cappella choral ensembles. This 40-voice professional choir is currently celebrating its 31st and final season of concerts, tours, radio broadcasts, and critically acclaimed recordings. In 1992, The Dale Warland Singers became the first-ever recipient of ASCAP's Margaret Hillis Achievement Award for Choral Excellence. The ensemble has also appeared on Garrison Keillor's original A Prairie Home Companion show and performed regularly on Public Radio International's Saint Paul Sunday. Its annual Echoes of Christmas and Cathedral Classics broadcasts reach listeners nationwide.
