The Concert Chorale bears a tradition of maintaining the highest standards of musical excellence, performing at venues such as Carnegie Hall in New York and at regional conventions like the American Choral Directors Association. This ensemble offers students an excellent opportunity to study and perform a broad range of choral literature, and to tour annually throughout the Texas region. Typically once each year, the chorale joins with the other choirs to collaborate with the Symphony Orchestra a choral masterwork. Recent combined choir performances have included Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9, Rachmaninoff’s The Bells, and Mozart’s Requiem.
