Our Staff. Herding cats.
Keeping all of these men together and on task is an impossible task, but the staff of Steel City Men’s Chorus still tries.
Our Artistic Director and an Associate Music Director are responsible for the theme and production of our performances while a Chorus Manager handles the business and administration of the chorus.
