Founded in 2004, The Singers organization has quickly been recognized as one of Minnesota’s premiere choral ensembles. Dedicated to world-class performances of the finest choral literature, The Singers serve as artists, educators, and ambassadors of the choral art. Based in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, the choir performs throughout Minnesota and the Midwest. Dedicated to the work of today's composers, The Singers has premiered and commissioned nearly forty new works since its founding. The ensemble has been honored to debut works by Stephen Paulus, Eleanor Daley, Craig Carnahan, as well as from three composers-in-residence, Abbie Betinis, Jocelyn Hagen, and Joshua Shank.

Matthew Culloton is the Founding Artistic Director and Conductor of The Singers. He holds degrees from Concordia College, Moorhead (B.M. in Music Education) and the University of Minnesota (M.M. in Choral Conducting). As a composer, Matthew has been commissioned by The Singers, the Dale Warland Singers, Choral Arts Ensemble of Rochester (MN), and the Minnesota MMEA All-State Choir. He is co-editor of the Matthew and Michael Culloton Choral Series with Santa Barbara Music Publishing.
