The Georgetown University Concert Choir is a large SATB choral ensemble that performs large sacred and secular works from all periods of music history. The group performs several major concerts a year, often in combination with the GU Orchestra. Rehearsals emphasize vocal production techniques, diction, aural skills, and basic musicianship. There is one tutti rehearsal per week with a sectional on a second night.
Membership is open to all, with no audition.
