DUAYNE MALEWICKI, NSCC DIRECTOR

The North Suburban Concert Chorale (NSCC) performs with the North Suburban Concert Band (NSCB) annually at its Christmas Concerts. It was originally organized in 1989 by then-NSCB-director Michael Halstenson. Bruce Phelps, Anoka H.S. choir direc-tor, took over the baton for several years. He was followed by the current director, Duayne Malewicki.

The Chorale attracts singers, ranging from high school age to senior citizens, from church and community choirs in the north and west suburbs. The non-auditioned group is currently limited to 118 singers. The Chorale rehearses for seven weeks prior to these performances.
