The Georgetown University Chapel Choir
The University Chapel Choir
The University Chapel Choir is the premier liturgical choral ensemble on campus and sings weekly during the academic term for the Sunday 9:30pm Mass in Dahlgren Chapel. Its forty members represent all areas of the university - students, faculty, staff and alumni.
The Georgetown University Chapel Choir is currently developing a choral pilgrimage to Italy in May, 2011.
Since its founding in 2001, the Georgetown University Chapel Choir has established its reputation for providing excellence in sacred music both on campus and off. Two of the choir's yearly traditions include hosting the Festival Service of Lessons and Carols for Advent at Georgetown's historic Holy Trinity Church (Fall semester) and offering music for the Mass at the Cathedral of Saint Matthew the Apostle, the seat of the Archbishop of Washington, in Washington DC (Spring semester).
The choir sings an eclectic variety of reputable SATB choral music and membership is offered to all who are associated with the university, including students, alumni, staff, faculty and members of religious communities. Rehearsals are held on Thursdays in Dahlgren Chapel from 7:20-8:50pm during the academic year. An optional tutorial session is available on Tuesdays from 6-7.
Students have the option of auditioning to take Chapel Choir for credit through the Department of Performing Arts. MUSC 100-31
