The group gives several major concerts each year, both on and off campus, and performs for occasional campus functions and liturgical services. The Choir emphasizes vocal production techniques, diction, aural skills, and basic musicianship, while striving for excellence in a wide variety of choral styles. Also studied are each work's history and what makes it worthy of performance.
