The Maryland State Boychoir is a choir based in Baltimore, Maryland. It was founded in 1987 by Frank Cimino. The choir is a donor-supported 501(c)3 organization, dedicated to providing boys a welcoming place to sing. The choir is composed of approximately 140 choristers, ages 7 to 20, who represent a wide range of ethnic, socioeconomic, and religious backgrounds. They perform locally, nationally, and internationally. Frank Cimino is the currently retired but still helps with the choir. Stephen Holmes is currently the Artistic Director, and Joseph Shortall is the Treble Choir Director.

Famous quotes containing the word state:
“For centuries the death penalty, often accompanied by barbarous refinements, has been trying to hold crime in check; yet crime persists. Why? Because the instincts that are warring in man are not, as the law claims, constant forces in a state of equilibrium.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
