The Brigham Young University Singers have built upon the rich choral tradition of the University to achieve a performance style and quality that have drawn enthusiastic responses from audiences all over the world. While firmly rooted in classical choral music, they are known for compelling performances of the best of all kinds of vocal music. The choir’s desire is to share a sense of hope, beauty and goodwill to audiences at home and around the world.
Each year the choir brings together approximately 40 multi-talented students from all areas of the United States, representing a broad diversity of educational pursuits. The students agree to a rigorous rehearsal/performance schedule and the memorization of each year’s repertoire list. Their ability and love for music is evidenced in their artistry, expressiveness, commitment and versatility.
The choir has produced five CD recordings on the Tantara and Arsis labels.
BYU Singers have performed in Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts, the Sydney Opera House, the Brahmssaal in Vienna, the Kappella in St. Petersburg, Exeter Cathedral in England, St Matthew’s Cathedral in Auckland and Henry Crown Hall in Jerusalem. In addition, the choir has twice sung series of concerts throughout Israel in collaboration with the Israel Chamber Orchestra. Concert tours have taken the choir to most of the states of the USA, and abroad to Ghana, Togo, Benin, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Jordan, Egypt, Switzerland, Belgium, South Africa and twice to Canada and Russia.
The BYU Singers are directed by Ronald Stahli.
