Welcome MIT 2013!
Sign up for updates!
First off, congratulations to you for being admitted and deciding to come to MIT - it's certainly quite an accomplishment, and we are thrilled that you will be arriving on campus is just a couple short months!
We are The Chorallaries of MIT, the oldest coed a cappella group here at the 'tute (since 1977, baby!). Our group consists of a fun and crazy bunch of some of the best singers are MIT, with a collective aim to entertain.
We're always keeping ourselves busy working on a variety of projects. On campus, we perform regularly to packed lecture halls during term, from our Fall and Spring concerts:
to the infamous Concert in Bad Taste, a delightfully offensive show where we test the limits of our First Amendment rights with crazy costumes and hilarious songs and skits.
We also perform in and around the Boston/Cambridge area as well, ranging from business dinners to high schools concerts.
We don't just hole it out here in the Northeast either - we've racked up a ridiculous number of road and air miles traveling all over the country on tour.
Our last one in 2008 sent us road-tripping to NYC, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC, singing and socializing at MIT Admitted Students' Meetings and jamming with other a cappella groups at local colleges. Past tours have taken us to Canada, California, Florida... the list goes on.
Every three years, we jump into our studio on campus and record a full-length album. In December of 2007, we released our latest studio project, "Positive Chorallation".
Much to our delight, the album reached critical acclaim, with opening track "Papercut" receiving a nomination for "Best Mixed Collegiate Song" from the Contemporary A Cappella Recording Awards, and closing track "Rainbow Connection" being selected as the closing track for "Voices Only 2008", a compilation album of the year's best college a cappella. Our next album is set for release in early 2010.
As a competitive group, we also participate in the International Championships of Collegiate A Cappella. At the 2009 contest, we took home the title of "Best Arrangement" for "Rainbow Connection" at Semifinals, as well as receiving awards for "Best Soloist" and "Best Choreography" at Quarterfinals...
...and, in 2006 the group gained national attention while competing in the International Finals at NYC's Lincoln Center.
We are absolutely pumped to talk with and perform for all you incoming students and your families come Orientation this Fall - we hope that you consider the Chorallaries in your future!
