The Valparaiso Singers is a small choral ensemble based in Menlo Park, California.  This group, the majority of whom are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, has performed together since 1984 throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, in Southern California, and at Temple Square in Salt Lake City.  They have also appeared at Carnegie Hall under the direction of Jerold Ottley, former conductor of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, and again with England’s famed John Rutter.  Most notable was their humanitarian tour to Russia in the fall of 2000, delivering medical equipment and supplies as well as concertizing in Moscow, Voronezh, and St. Petersburg.

Judith Stewart, director, has conducted numerous adult and children's choirs for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, produced several musicals and has taught at regional music workshops.

James Welch, accompanist, is on the music faculty at Santa Clara University.  He holds a DMA in organ performance from Stanford University and concertizes worldwide.
