University Chorus
The Brandeis University Chorus welcomes the entire Brandeis community. It performs great and enduring music from the vast classic Western tradition, a cappella and accompanied. Student soloists from the UChor are frequently featured. We also feature concerts of the Great American Songbook, and the African-American musical tradition. The University Chorus leads the community in the annual Messiah–SING every December in the Atrium of the Shapiro Student Center.
