Chorale

The Goshen College chorale numbers 60-70 singers and represents a wide variety of academic majors. The choir sings primarily sacred repertoire from all periods of music history. Occasionally, the Chorale joins with the Chamber Choir and Orchestra to perform major choral/orchestral pieces. Two on-campus and several off-campus concerts are presented each year, including an annual tour. Membership is open to any Goshen College student by audition.
