Vocal Ensembles
IU Southeast is committed to serving students, faculty, staff, and community members with a wide variety of singing experiences. Our choral ensembles are open to everyone who loves to sing and enjoys the opportunity to explore a wide range of literature. Each year, the choirs collaborate with the IUS Orchestra for a performance of major works that focuses primarily on the masterpieces of the choral/orchestral repertoire. In addition, the ensembles also explore some of the more traditional choral pieces from various time periods and parts of the world.
Whether you are a graduate student or freshman, experienced or novice, the Indiana University Southeast's choral program has an ensemble for you!
