St. Louis Metro Singers

The St. Louis Metro Singers will celebrated its 25th anniversary in January 2012. Since its beginning, the Chorus has entertained audiences at a variety of functions and locations, including annual seasonal concerts at Southwest Baptist Church, St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church, and in Columbia, Illinois, for the Dorothy Weinel Eppinger Foundation. The St. Louis Metro Singers’ annual Christmas concert at Southwest Baptist Church is traditionally recorded by KMOX radio and broadcast on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day; its annual spring/summer fund‑raising concert has played to capacity audiences; and, since 2005, the Chorus has performed with the Compton Heights Concert Band at the band’s annual Christmas concert at Powell Symphony Hall.

The St. Louis Metro Singers traces its musical tradition to The Cosmopolitan Singers, which was founded in the 1950s by Dr. Helen Louise Graves. This group was dissolved in 1986 upon the death of Dr. Graves and was succeeded by the St. Louis Metro Singers.

The St. Louis Metro Singers currently has a membership of over 90 quality voices from St. Louis City and County, Metro East, and neighboring communities. Its members represent varied ages and diverse backgrounds, but all have a common desire – to share their love of music with people throughout the St. Louis metropolitan area.
