Singing Statesmen Program, at the Northwest American Choral Directors Association, Jaunuary 2024

 

Welcome

Welcome to the University of Wyoming Choral Area's website. The University of Wyoming Choral Program provides high-quality musical experiences for music majors, non-music majors, and community members alike through six choral ensembles: Collegiate Chorale (auditioned, SATB), Bel Canto (non-auditioned, SA), Singing Statesmen (non-auditioned, TB), Civic Chorus (non-auditioned, SATB), 7220 Blues (auditioned, SATB) and the Happy Jacks (auditioned, TB).

Frequently, the choirs at UW combine to perform major works with orchestra. Recently, the choirs performed Brahms’ Ein deutsches Requiem, op. 45 with the Cheyenne Symphony Orchestra (2022). This spring they will perform Mozart’s Requiem in D minor, K. 626 with the UW Symphony Orchestra.

Through tours (both domestic and international) and conference performances, the choirs at the University of Wyoming have shared their music making outside of Laramie. Lately, members of the choirs have been fortunate to tour locally in Wyoming (2022) and throughout Texas (2023). Historically, the choirs at the University of Wyoming have participated in international tours (Spain, Brazil, England, Scotland, Mexico, Russia, Poland, Austria, The Netherlands, Germany, France, England, and Wales). The choirs have shared their music making regionally through performances at Northwest American Choral Directors Association conventions (Collegiate Chorale—2020, 1990; Bel Canto—2018; & Singing Statesmen—2024 & 2012).
