Shenandoah Chorus is committed to making our music accessible through performance and k-12 partnership initiatives. We are dedicated to music, its role in the lives of ensemble and audience members. 系综 members refine choral singing technique and musicianship skills while singing a dynamic range of repertoire written specifically for the soprano/alto ensemble. All soprano/alto singers are encouraged to participate in this non-auditioned group.
This chorus is open to all students singing soprano or alto at Shenandoah University, regardless of major. To join, register for MUEN 313; no audition is required. Enrollment in Shenandoah Chorus contributes towards completing the ShenEd (General Education) elective requirement in the Creative Expression Sphere (CES).
