The University Choir is open to all PSU students, regardless of prior musical experience. With its focus on the musical education of its members, the University Choir performs a wide range of choral music from all style periods. This ensemble is an ideal place for voice and music education majors beginning university-level study, music majors who are new to singing, non-music majors with choral experience, or those wishing to explore their voice for the first time.
There are two sections of our University Choirs: one rehearses Wednesdays and the other Thursdays from 3:30- 5:20 PM and performs once per term! It is possible to enroll in both sections.
The University Choir is led by our graduate students under the mentorship of Dr. Ethan Sperry and Prof. Coty Raven Morris.
Auditions are not required.
