TWIN CITIES MASTER'S CHORALE  is a 50 member community choir that was founded for the purpose of preserving and promoting quality sacred choral music in area churches, schools, and retirement facilities.  Members come from a great variety of occupations, locations, and churches, and are a part of this choral group because they have a love for singing and desire to share the gift of sacred music.  Over their seventeen year history they have presented concerts in numerous churches in the Twin Cities area and beyond.  They were founded as Cantati Evangelica in 1992 by Ron White, who served as their director for the first fourteen years.
