FolkLib Index - Wisconsin Choirs and Choruses

          This page lists links for current and past Wisconsin-based Choirs and Choruses. Until there are 10 of them, enough to justify their own page, Handbell Choirs are also listed here. Barbershop Choruses are listed on the "Wisconsin Barbershop Groups" page. See also the list of known Wisconsin A Cappella groups.
