Imagine starting something that continues to inspire new generations long after the first note. 🎶

A musical experience that began decades ago has helped shape the journeys of students, educators and singers across the Flint area. Some found their calling. Others discovered mentors, friendships and opportunities they never expected.

And the connections? They're still growing.

As this beloved tradition reaches a remarkable milestone, we're looking back at the people and moments that made it matter, and the lasting influence of five decades of music and mentorship.

During the 50th annual Chamber Choir Invitational, local high school choirs will join UM-Flint's Chamber Singers for a celebration in song.
