scs and covid-19
October, 2020
The 2020-2021 concert year is a milestone anniversary for Saginaw Choral Society – 85 wonderful years of music making in the Great Lakes Bay Region. And yet, for the first time in our history, we are not singing together. The COVID-19 epidemic has taken over control of how and when we will be able to bring choral music to the public once again. Health professionals and government regulations provide an ever-evolving picture of what we can and cannot do. With choirs deemed virus “super-spreaders” causing accelerated transmission, we are currently not gathering for rehearsals or planning live performances.
But singing is in our DNA! And we WANT to perform!
We are creatively adapting to our evolving environment. We are turning to online performance platforms to share our music with you. We are practicing virtually, and we are planning performances that you will be able to view safely from the comfort of your own home.
Continue to stay connected with us on our social media channels for updates and announcements. Be sure to “tune in” to the virtual performances we are planning for this season. If you would like to help us further with your financial support, you can make a donation by clicking on the Support button.
These past months have been difficult and uncertain for everyone. We believe in our mission and the power that music has in bringing people together. We are optimistic for what the future holds, and we look forward to seeing you soon. When that will be, we can’t say, but only when it is safe for our singers and for audience alike.
For now, take care and stay safe! We miss you!

#WeAreSaginawFrom a distance, we shop together, drink coffee together, drive down the same roads together, and we live together, yet we do not know one another. Saginaw Choral Society is setting out to bridge that gap and break those barriers. We want to bring people together through music. Throughout the next year, Saginaw Choral Society is leading a project called #WeAreSaginaw to celebrate the impact and importance of all people in our community.
At various events throughout the year, you’ll have the opportunity to participate. We’ll ask you to tell us, in a word or two, how you would respond to the sentence “I AM…” You can even invite us to bring this project to your organization, business, or church. At the end of the season, we will all come together to recognize the full impact of what makes us… us! Because I am Saginaw. You are Saginaw. Together #WeAreSaginaw.
