The IUP University Chorale is the university’s premiere choral ensemble dedicated to the study and performance of masterworks of choral literature.
Founded in 1961, the Chorale has achieved distinction as one of the finest choral ensembles in Pennsylvania, performing for the Eastern Convention of the American Choral Directors Association (Boston), in Carnegie Hall with the Brooklyn Philharmonic (New York), under the direction of Andre Previn with the Pittsburgh Symphony, and for the worship services in Mozart’s cathedral—the Salzburger Dom (Austria). The Chorale rehearses each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 3:45–4:45 p.m. and Tuesday from 3:30-4:30 p.m. in Cogswell Hall, room 120. Chorale is offered for one credit (MUSC 122 001).
Membership in IUP Choral Ensembles is by audition only. Auditions will be held in Cogswell Hall, room 111, during the first three days of classes. Find a convenient time on the sign-up list at the door and enter your name. It is not necessary to prepare a solo for your audition. The director will vocalize you to hear the weight, color, and range of your voice, ask you to sight-read, and play some simple melodies for you to repeat. All students from across campus are encouraged to audition.
