• Keep per
  WP:NMUSIC. It's a professional chorus with years of history in Saint Louis (founded 1954). A history of the chorus is given in pages 49-54 of The Pullitzer Prize Archive -Cultural Criticism 1969-1990: From Architectural Damages to Press Imperfections, Heinz-Dietrich Fischer, Erika J. Fischer, Walter de Gruyter, K. G. Saur Verlag, 1992 (see here) Their concerts have been regularly critically reviewed in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. This review, for example, described the ensemble as "the region’s finest a cappella choir". Here are other reviews: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], etc. There's over one hundred concerts reviewed in that newspaper alone. Professional regional ensembles for classical music are typically verified on wikipedia through critical reviews in their city's paper. Additionally, the ensemble's work at performing and recording unusual repertoire has led to it's appearance in a number of academic publications; including [11], and [12]. Here is a snippet view of a Gramaphone review of one of their recordings. The chorus was also the main subject of an article in The Classical Outlook, Volume 77, Page 29.4meter4 (talk) 01:46, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply

• Keep but expand and reference, per 4meter4. I am convinced they are notable but that should show in the article, not only in this discussion. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:24, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per 4meter4, who gives ample evidence of
  WP:NOTABILITY. I also agree with Gerda Arendt that the article should be accordingly expanded, with relevant citations. Smerus (talk) 07:41, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply

• Keep per 4meter4; clearly meets
  WP:NBAND. However, the article badly needs to be expanded with the references 4meter4 found. Zingarese talk · contribs 21:50, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply

• Keep as per the multiple reliable sources identified above that indicate that the group are notable and the article should be kept and improved, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 22:38, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
