About the MasterSingers
Since its inception in 1969, the MasterSingers (formerly “The Voices of Mel Olson” and later “Die Meistersingers”) have worked to nourish the health of choral arts in the region.
With a tradition of presenting a wide range of musical styles, MasterSingers Omaha has become Omaha's premier vocal jazz & a'cappella ensemble. Our ensemble is composed of gifted volunteer singers from the Omaha/Council Bluffs metro, eastern Nebraska and western Iowa. Our singers come to us from a variety of professions & with a range of vocal experiences. Some are seasoned performers & some haven't sung in decades, but all share the love and talent for great choral music.
Propelled by a fervent belief in the power of the choral experience, the group’s leadership has sought opportunities to transform its creative vision into reality, welcoming guest artists and conductors, producing recordings and commissioning new works by choral greats such as John Rutter, Edwin Fissinger, Dale Grotenhius, Robert Beadell, Jackson Berkey, Boyd Bacon, Dick Palmer, Ric Swanson and Jim Elsberry. MasterSingers have appeared in several Nebraska and Iowa locations, and have performed with the SAC (now the Heartland of America) Band. A Christmas recording “Light of Love” was released in 1995, and the choral jazz recording “Friends” was released in the spring of 1997.
