Concordia University’s A Cappella Choir, a select 72-voice internationally renowned vocal ensemble, has been performing concerts and joining congregations in worship for over 88 years. One of the United States’ oldest touring Lutheran collegiate choirs, the University A Cappella Choir has performed throughout the U.S., and internationally in Greece, Italy, France, Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, India, Thailand, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, the Philippines, Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Latvia, Austria, Spain, Mexico, South Africa, and Australia. This will be the first time the choir has taken a concert tour to Ireland.
The choir is chosen by audition each fall and is comprised of majors from most academic disciplines, representing many states and some foreign countries. Over 180 students audition each year for the choir.
The choir has been invited to perform for many conferences and festivals over the years, including The Nebraska Music Education Association annual conference, the American Choral Directors Association conferences, and international competitions. They received the Gold Medal for performance at the 12th Australian International Music Festival in Sydney and earned a spot in the winner’s circle at the 42nd International Choral Competition in Spittal, Austria.
The theme for this concert tour is “Choral Echoes of Then and Now” and will feature music from
many historical eras up to the present, including several brand new compositions written for the A Cappella Choir.
