UW Choirs are Recognized Regionally and Internationally by Dr. Nicole Lamartine
Each of the six University of Wyoming choral ensembles is unique. Whether connecting with local communities, taking part in service projects, or creating communication through music, each is recognized for continued excellence.
The University of Wyoming Collegiate Chorale, under the direction of Dr. Nicole Lamartine, will be packing their bags and heading to Spain this fall. The Chorale is the only choir from the US invited to take part in the 49th Tolosa Choral Contest in Tolosa, Spain, in November, 2017. Choirs from all over the world will participate in a week of village concerts and the contest itself. The Collegiate Chorale will present two different programs of required elements at the contest: Polyphony and Folklore.
Polyphony:
Cry Out and Shout - Knut Nystedt Bach (Again): Come Sweet Death - J.S. Bach, Arr. Sandberg Lament for a Lost Child - Jere Hutcheson To the Mothers in Brazil: Salve Regina – Lars Jansson Si chi’o vorrei morire - Claudio Monteverdi
Folklore:
Unclouded Day – Arr. Shawn Kirchner Xota xaldun – Morcoroa (Popular Basque) Birjina gaztetto bat zegoen - Traditional Basque Battle of Jericho – Arr. Hogan Jai Ho - Rahman, Arr. Ethan Sperry (4:00) Uptown Funk – Arr. Deke Sharon
The contest is connected to the mission of a thriving Basque culture, and the choir is learning Basque songs, language, and some dances to share. Big thanks to UW Alumna Elisa (Etchemendy)

Olsen for her help! The UW Collegiate Chorale will also give concerts in Lourdes, France, and in neighboring host villages that support the contest in Spain.
In the regional spotlight, Bel Canto Women’s Chorus, under the direction of Dr. Holly Dalrymple, has been chosen to perform at the 2018 Northwestern American Choral Directors Association conference in Portland, Oregon, in March. Only twenty choirs from six states have been chosen to represent excellence in choral music in the northwest. It is a huge honor for this choir, comprised largely of non-music majors, to present music at such a high level.
We know that experiences such as these serve to enrich and enlighten our students with excellence for their future music- making – whether as a music teacher in Wyoming or on the national performance stage.
