About the West Michigan Community Chorale

The West Michigan Community Chorale (WMCC) was born out of Director Les Rowsey’s dream for a place where adults could continue to develop vocally and for a choir that could bring choral music to people in the community who may not otherwise have access. Our members come from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences, spanning young adults to seniors, and include both amateur and professional musicians. We provide a supportive environment to enhance musical knowledge and vocal talents. Through performances in a variety of community venues, we strive to spread the joy of music while supporting local non-profit initiatives.

Our repertoire spans a broad range of musical styles: from Renaissance pieces to African-American spirituals, Beethoven to Gershwin, and Broadway to gospel. We’ve also had the honor of performing The Star-Spangled Banner for the Detroit Tigers and the Grand Rapids Gold, adding Canada’s national anthem, O Canada, in 2023.

WMCC's Mission

Experiencing Joy Through Excellence, Inspiring Others Through Song

Our mission is to foster vocal excellence and share our music with the community. Through our dedication to high-quality music, we enrich our audience and promote artistic growth.
