Choral Music At BYU
After attending a recent choral concert on campus, Jerry Johnston, columnist for the Deseret News, wrote, “Few college choirs in America bring the emotional commitment and discipline to their tasks as the BYU choirs. They were remarkable.”
The five choral organizations offer all students, both graduate and undergraduate, an opportunity for training, experience, and personal growth in all aspects of the choral art. Even with the intense pressure on students to finish their undergraduate degrees in record time, over one thousand students enroll each semester in choir. And that enrollment is not just among students pursuing a music major. It is not unusual for even the two highly select choirs to have approximately 40 to 50% enrollment from majors other than music
In addition to the regularly scheduled combined and individual concerts, the choirs are often invited to provide music for General Conference and special university events. All of the auditioned choirs will participate in an annual concert at the Conference Center Theater.
