Whether
singing classic choral literature or popular charts from our day, this tenor
and bass ensemble is on a mission to spread joy through music. Male Ensemble
Northwest was formed in 1982 by former local chorale conductors Howard Meharg
and Larry Marsh and Portland State University professor Bruce Browne to
demonstrate a high level of music-making by choral conductors from across the
Pacific Northwest and to promote male choral singing.  As observed by an
audience member,
 ”The enthusiasm and energy that you bring to a
performance is infectious - standing “O” from our audience.” 
 Don’t
miss it!
