The A Cappella Choir is the premiere choral ensemble of the University of Texas at Arlington. Comprised primarily of undergraduate and graduate vocal music majors, the choir’s diversity is representative of the UT Arlington student body, which is ranked the 5th most ethnically diverse university in the nation. The A Cappella Choir gave invited performances at the 2014 and 2019 conventions of the Texas Music Educators Association, the 2019 National Collegiate Choral Organization conference, the Southwestern Division Conferences of ACDA in 2016 and 2022, and served as Ensemble-in-Residence for the National Student Conducting Competition at the American Choral Directors Association convention in 2015. The choir frequently performs with professional organizations around the region, including with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, the Fort Worth Chorale, and the Texas Ballet Theatre. The choir has appeared with the Rolling Stones in concert at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, and the Eagles at American Airlines Center in Dallas and Will Rogers Auditorium in Fort Worth. The choir has twice been honored with the American Prize for Choral Performance: 2014 as a finalist and 2021 with third place.
