Administrative History
The Masterworks Chorale, originally known as the East Central Indiana Community Singers, was formed
in 1978 by several members of the Muncie Matinee Musicale who were interested in bringing high
quality chorale performances to Muncie. The group held its first concert that same year, performing
Berlioz’s L’Enfance du Christ. Since then, the chorus has presented a yearly concert series of three or
four concerts, performing the major works of Handel, Back, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Schubert, and
many others. In addition, the group has presented a variety of other programs, ranging from light opera to
folk music. One of the group’s biggest highlights was an invitation to participate in the presentation of the
Dvorak Requiem in Carnegie Hall with a large chorus and the Manhattan Philharmonic on June 12, 1990.
