Welcome

It is my great pleasure to invite you to join us for the University of Alabama's 2021-2022 choral season. Whether you are a long-time chorister, or you are considering joining a choir for the first time, there is a place for everyone. 

The choirs at UA are open to all students of all majors, both undergraduates and graduates, and perform music of all styles and aesthetics: classical, pop, jazz, gospel, and much more. Vocalists of all styles and backgrounds are welcome and choir scholarships are available!

I hope you will take part in this year of incredible music-making, particularly as we look forward to our performance at Carnegie Hall in New York City! 
​
To say it will be an exciting year would be an understatement.

​Come join us.
