Our mission is to provide an opportunity for our students and our communities to experience a wide variety of cultural arts, to experience professional quality presentations and performances as well as provide a forum for local and regional artists to be featured in their own and neighboring communities.
Our goal is to open opportunities for area artists as well as to inspire young minds to the wonders, beauty and pleasures of art in their lives. All performances are family quality.
Our goal is to hold 5-7 programs a year. We try to vary the type and content to provide a broad exposure of the arts to our community. Donations made to Mid-Kentucky Arts at St. Catharine help to defray honorariums, performance fees, travel expenses of the performers, marketing material, rental fees and the like.
Thank you for your consideration of our efforts to bring a variety of arts to this area of rural Kentucky. It is much appreciated.

Mid-Kentucky Chorus at St. Catharine
The Chorus is a group of men and women with a love of singing. The talents and backgrounds of the members are as varied as their hometowns. The Chorus is a mix of both professionally-trained members and those who just like to be part of a quality choral group. The common denominator is the love of good music, be it modern, classical, or anything in between. If you have a love of singing, the Chorus always welcomes new members.
