The Ensemble

The Bemidji Alumni Choir is one of Minnesota’s premiere choral organizations located in the Twin Cities, Minneapolis and St. Paul.

The Bemidji Alumni Choir (BAC) singers are virtually all former members of Dr. Paul Brandvik’s and Dr. P. Bradley Logan’s Bemidji State University Choir. Most of the singers sang with the choir on regional and national concert tours, including two performances in Carnegie Hall, as well as one or more of the choir’s 12 European or Israel tours. The choir practices the a cappella choral tradition which emphasizes accurate intonation, unity of tone within each section, and phrasing that captures the deeper meaning of the text.
