Mission Statement
Mission: Honors Choirs of Southeast Minnesota (HCSM) aims to promote the highest standard of excellence in the preparation and performance of choral music, seeking to provide artistic challenge and growth opportunities for youth throughout the region and enjoyment for the community at large.
About This Cause
Founded as an auditioned high school choir in Rochester, Minnesota in 1992, today Honors Choirs of SE MN is the largest youth music organization in the area, serving over 340 young people from the Rochester and surrounding communities. Founder and Artistic Director, Dr. Rick Kvam, believes participating in choir develops neurons in young brains, gives youth the chance to learn cooperation without competition, and affirms to young people the power of beauty through joyful singing. From inception, the organization’s reputation for excellence emerged quickly, and within three years the small ensemble had grown to nearly 90 members. Between 1997 and 2001, the organization added several choirs and expanded to include singers in grades 3-12. In 2014, Honors Choirs expanded its programming to include a class for children in grades 1 and 2. After 25 years of existence, nearly 1,800 singers have participated directly as a member of an Honors Choirs ensemble.
