Resident Choral Composers of Missouri

The list below includes published choral composers who currently reside in Missouri. Most have a website which will enable the user to gather information about their work and music. Their city of residence is included so that teachers in their region may invite them to a class or concert. By compiling and publishing this information we are encouraging a creative partnership between Missouri’s composers, poets, artists, choirs, and especially, our audiences, the citizens of Missouri.
