Texas Choirs

Welcome to Choirs at The Butler School of Music

The Texas Choirs program comprises five choirs and offers a Bachelor of Music in choral studies (music education), as well a Master of Music and a Doctor of Musical Arts in choral conducting. 

Anyone Can Join!

The University of Texas at Austin has an incredibly rich history of choral singing. If you are attending The University of Texas at Austin in any capacity, and have a love for singing in choir, there is a place for you in a Texas Choir! You don't need to major in music to participate—in fact, over half of Texas Choirs are not music majors! In a university the size of UT, we are proud that Texas Choirs serve as a great crossroads of university interests. Texas Choirs is a great place to find community and kindred spirits.

Texas Choirs perform numerous concerts of diverse choral genres, time periods, and composers. All choirs are open to all students across the University, though some choirs require an audition for acceptance.
