In addition to singing at the Sights and Sounds of Christmas and various other campus events, the Chorale appears on the Artists Series of St. Cecelia's Cathedral in Omaha. They have toured throughout Canada, the United States, and Europe with plans for another tour in 1999 to Germany and Denmark. Its members not only perform the music of American culture but that of many others, often learning directly from the musicians of other cultures. Santa Lucia is a women's choral ensemble that performs a cappella, three-part harmony in Danish and English. A variety of keyboard ensembles emerge each year depending on student interest and talent.
Students perform on-campus, in chapel and for departmental recitals.
In addition, off-campus appearances are arranged. Professional, paid keyboard positions are available for students in the community. No, all of the performing arts activities are open to students in any major. All of the performing arts scholarships are renewable to students as long as they stay actively involved in the ensemble area of their scholarship. It is best if you can schedule the audition with the admissions office at least a week ahead so they can make the arrangements.
