Our Story

Chorale NouvEAU was founded in 2019 by Artistic Director Kate Larson. The choir has grown from 12 original members to nearly 40 auditioned singers from around the Chippewa Valley.  We strive to captivate audiences with a diverse range of new and exciting choral repertoire. To further our mission, a portion of concert ticket proceeds is dedicated to supporting local nonprofit organizations, amplifying our impact across the community. Since our founding, we have helped raise funds for:

  • Fierce Freedom

  • Family Promise of the Chippewa Valley

  • The Wellness Shack, Inc.

  • Hope Village

  • Bolton Refuge House

  • Christ Church Cathedral Needful Things Personal Care Pantry

  • The Sojourner House

Chorale NouvEAU presents two concert programs each year in January and May. In addition, we have collaborated with various local choirs, including the Chippewa Valley Youth Choirs, the UWEC Women’s Concert Chorale, and the Stand in the Light Memory Choir.
