But you make a good point - should I invite the choir director to attend?

Yes I would. You have to step up on a matter such as this, in a culture endeavoring to diversify.
The bishop is wrong as to the policy. And if the Stake President can't recognize it, take it to his superior. Do it in a respectful way, but you seem to have a duty to speak up for those not represented. Plus, the bishop doesn't know the correct policy and somebody in the chain of command. I would not delay as other members may have already had their feelings hurt over a matter that should be uplifting, not denigrating because somebody has no sense of musical edification. Just don't demonize the bishop, but make certain the SP knows you're trying to do what's best for the congregation on a sticky issue.
