At Colorado State University, student singers become exceptional musicians by participating in choral ensembles, singing core repertoire of choral canon from the range of eras. The ensembles are open to all CSU students, regardless of major; however, an audition is required for the select groups.The entire music faculty encourages student participation in choral ensembles; the best musician-singers in the music program sing in the top choirs resulting in a balance of graduate vocal majors and undergraduate music majors throughout.
In addition to local concerts, the CSU Choral Program is established on a national level through appearances at multiple conferences such as the National Collegiate Choral Organization, the American Choral Directors Association, the Aspen Music Festival, the Steamboat Springs Strings Festival, and CMEA. The choirs also tour regularly throughout the state, nation, and abroad. Most recently, the choirs toured to Italy and performed at St. Peter's Basilica.
