From part books to premieres, from popular song to opera, from oratorios to chamber works—Jacobs School students sing and conduct an incredibly wide variety of choral repertoire.

COVID–19 Please see our Ensembles page to learn how we are singing this semester.

Choral Ensembles In any given school year, the Jacobs School presents performances by an exceptionally wide array of vocal ensembles: 2 large symphonic choruses, 3 chamber choirs (one of which specializes in new music), 5 opera choruses, early music ensembles, a collegiate show choir, and an all-campus choir. Regardless of your interests, there is a chorus for you at IU!

Interested in Choral Conducting? No matter what your experience, graduate student or undergraduate student, there is a choral conducting class for you! Learn more about our doctoral minor in choral conducting here. We also offer graduate seminars in choral repertoire, classes in score study, ear training for conductors, and score reading.

We invite you to explore our pages for news and information about our ensembles, degree programs, faculty and more.
