Carthage College was founded in 1847 as a private liberal arts institution in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

The Carthage College Choir, founded in 1927, began as a small a capella group which exclusively performed sacred music. Now, nearly 90 years later, the choir is a celebrated component of Wisconsin’s cultural landscape and performs regularly in the area and in venues all over the world. In 2011, the choir held their debut concert in Carnegie Hall, a significant accomplishment which is largely due to their director, Dr. Eduardo García-Novelli.
