The Choir
The Chapel Choir is a mixed choral ensemble consisting of approximately 70 undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, staff, and community members. It performs for major musical events at the Chapel, including Opening Exercises, Baccalaureate, Easter, and end-of-semester concerts.
The Chapel Camerata, a subset of the Chapel Choir, also performs each Sunday morning at the Chapel’s ecumenical service.

History
Since its founding in 1746, the University has always had a dedicated space for religious activities. Over the years, as the spiritual needs of the student body shifted, both Chapel Choir and the Chapel have evolved to reflect these changes.
