“MCP not only gives music to the Pittsburgh community, it gives community to the musicians of greater Pittsburgh. Any donation can help us better hone our craft and bring performances to new boroughs and music halls in the region and beyond.”

Joe Rogers, Tenor

“This organization and its people hold a special place in my heart. I moved to Pittsburgh in 2018 not knowing a single person and ever since, this has become a second family. The camaraderie and support have been unparalleled. The challenges of learning new music, concert preparation, and taking the stage with your friends to perform at the highest level is one of the most rewarding experiences out there. It’s an absolute privilege to be a member of such an historic organization and I want to help it continue to grow and be around for another hundred years. It’s truly the people’s choir.”

Lucky Rattan, Bass

“Giving to MCP will ensure we can continue to share traditional and modern choral works with our neighbors, and even be able to offer more performances. Supporting MCP is supporting Pittsburgh music!”

Laura Kingsley, Soprano

“The quality of our collaboration with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra has wowed audiences even in NYC’s Carnegie Hall, and recently earned a Grammy nomination. This is such a matter of pride for our city, and this level of music production and performance doesn’t happen without many people’s help and financial commitment.”

Edward Jaicks, Bass

“The quality of a community is indicated by what its members do together in unison. Singing is a natural thing for people to do together, for example, a fight song at a football game, a hymn at church, or the National Anthem at the beginning of a ceremony. People naturally relate to and value music, especially choral music, which is a unifying influence in the community.”

Alumnus Paul Long

“Arts organizations are the lifeblood of this beautiful city, and supporting them further inspires and changes the lives of everyone who lives here.”

Megan Wall, Soprano
