Chorus
The Milwaukee Symphony Chorus was founded in 1976, filling the MSO's need for a chorus of consistent quality. The indomitable Margaret Hawkins brought the strength of her personality and great skill to the challenge, laying the foundation on which current chorus director Lee Erickson has built. Hawkins' legacy is now honored through the naming of an endowed chair that secures the chorus' future.
