If you have ever participated in a choir in middle school, high school or through a church, or if you would just like to sing with other students in a fun and exciting environment, check out the choral opportunities, available to all students, here at VSU.

CONCERT CHOIR

Concert Choir is a non-auditioned choir which meets twice a week. Concert Choir is the largest vocal ensemble on campus and performs several times throughout the year, including large-scale works with the Valdosta Symphony Orchestra, as well as numerous smaller concerts featuring a wide array of musical styles. If you have a background in singing, such as church, middle or high school choir, instrumental experience, or if you just want to learn to sing, then come and be a part of the Concert Choir! You will meet people from virtually every major academic discipline and will build lasting friendships and memories.

MUSC 3820 – Tuesdays and Thursdays, 3:30 to 4:45 pm. 1-hour course credit.

MUSICAL UNION

Musical Union meets every Monday evening and is open to students, community members, faculty and staff members of VSU. There is no audition for entry, but there is an audition for placement. This chorus performs choral/orchestral masterworks as well as independent pieces reflective of all major periods of musical history. Several concerts are offered each year and the choir performs regularly with the Valdosta Symphony Orchestra. If you are looking for a great choral experience but have limited time available during the day, consider enrolling and participating in Musical Union. It is a great way to become invested in the Valdosta community.

MUSC 3910 – Monday evenings, 7:00 to 9:00 pm. 1-hour course credit.
