Concert Choir

Dr. William Cutter, Music Director

MIT Concert Choir (21M.401), a large choral group, is open by audition to both graduate and undergraduate students, and to members of the MIT community. The Concert Choir is a social, academic and musical ensemble in which students learn and perform large, major works from the standard repertoire, as well as selected shorter and lesser-known pieces.

The Concert Choir is designed to serve the beginner as well as the experienced choral singer. Basic vocal technique, diction, and music reading skills are a part of every rehearsal. Rehearsals culminate in a public performance each semester that is often accompanied by a professional orchestra and soloists. When appropriate, student soloists are also featured.

The Concert Choir has appeared with the Boston Pops under Keith Lockhart. In recent years, the Concert Choir has toured in Switzerland, Budapest and Vienna and looks forward to taking advantage of similar opportunities in the future. This ensemble frequently collaborates with the MIT Symphony and the MIT Wind Ensemble. Concert Choir (21M.401) may be taken for credit.
