Our choir is the flagship choral ensemble of the university’s department of music. Our choir’s repertoire spans several centuries of choral art music, including works by African American composers, with a noted emphasis on the performance, presentation, and preservation of the Negro spiritual. As a historically black college/university that, since its inception in 1876, has opened its doors to any and every person seeking a first-class, four-year university experience, our ensemble has stayed true to this mission by presenting performances of the Negro spiritual with excellence, authenticity, and respect.
