Sinsinawa Mound Center offers a variety of ways for people of all ages to participate in our music program.

Civic Chorus
Civic Chorus, under the direction of Sister Marie Juan Maney, is open to all singers in the tri-state area. Soprano, alto, tenor, and bass singers are all welcome. Semesters begin in September and January, practicing every Tuesday from 7 to 9 p.m. There is a $20 fee per semester.

Youth Choir
Sister Marie Juan Maney's Youth Choir performs concerts at Christmastime and during the school year for special requests. Additionally, area choirs will join with the Mound Choir to perform at the annual Music Festival in springtime in Queen of the Rosary Chapel. These 100+ students showcase some of the finest musical talent in the area.

Students in grades 3 through 8 are welcome to join the Youth Choir. Practice is every Monday evening from 6:30 to 8 p.m. There is a $50 fee per semester (bring a brother or sister for free).

Additionally, tri-state home-schooled children's choir practices every Friday morning from 9 to 10:15 a.m.

Last fall, we launched this new choir, meeting every Wednesday afternoon from 2 to 3:15 p.m. If you are between the ages of 65 and 100 (or somewhere close), please join this wonderful singing sensation to learn healthy breathing exercises, light dancing, and body movements. Membership is free. For more information, call Sister Marie Juan Maney, OP, at (608) 748-4411, ext. 807.
