Currently, Hiram College offers three choirs for its students. Each choir performs at least once a semester, presenting a variety of repertoire from all periods and cultures. All ensembles can be taken for 0 or 1 credits.
At a private, smaller institution, we have the ability to work our ensembles' schedules around each other. This means that students can choose to join just one group, or they can join as many as they want!
This vocal ensemble performs a variety of styles, from Bach cantatas to a-cappella jazz music. Along with concerts each semester, they have performed at the Garfield Memorial, the Festival of Lights, and the New Opera Works Festival. An audition for placement is necessary. Vocal choir experience is suggested, but by in no way required. It is directed by Timothy Borham.
Directed by Damaris Peters-Pike, this chorus loves to perform! This group includes community members, alumni, and students. They perform a holiday concert in December and a spring concert after commencement in May.
Founded in 2011, this ensemble performs a wide variety of styles. It has performed at National City Christian Church in Washington, D.C., at special college functions and in semester concerts. This choir is interest-dependent, so it may not be offered every year.
Joining a choir at Hiram College has many benefits, from stress-relief to free voice lessons. Many of the students in the choir will sing the National Anthem or Alma Mater at our professional and sporting events. Others may perform solos at recitals or the Intercultural Forum show. Some join to spend time with an amazing group of musically-inclined colleagues.
