The University Chorale is a highly select ensemble of voices that perform challenging choral literature of diverse styles and periods. The Chorale is the most vis- ible representative of the choral area, and its members are students of the highest musical caliber. Each year, the Chorale performs the vast majority of choral con- certs held on campus, including an annual Holiday con- cert in December and Romance concert in February. Special auditions are held each year for placement in the Chorale, and students are evaluated on their aca- demic progress, vocal ability, musicianship, leadership potential, keyboard skills and sight-singing prowess. In addition to appearances on campus, the University Chorale also performs for schools and civic organiza- tions in the greater Mobile area and Gulf Coast region,
and is a fixture at the annual Magic Christmas in Lights at Bellingrath Gardens. The Chorale’s growing musical reputation is reflected in the high demand for their performances at university development events and campus programs.
The
University Chorale repertoire is primarily chamber music, but also occasionally includes some jazz selections and even popular musical styles. The University Chorale is directed by Dr. Joe Pendleton, Director of Choral Activities.
