USC Thornton University Chorus
University Chorus is USC’s large, non-auditioned choir that offers singers from a broad range of musical experience an opportunity to perform a diverse repertoire of choral music.
About
University Chorus features a wide variety of backgrounds and experience levels that welcome undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, staff and community members alike.
The repertoire often includes choral “classics” such as excerpts from choral-orchestral masterworks. However, the chorus is not limited by any particular time period or style when choosing repertoire. It presents a diversity of music that features both historical and contemporary selections of varying lengths and difficulties.
Ensemble Information
University Chorus membership ranges from 50-100 singers from year to year. The ensemble is advised by faculty member Dr. Emily Sung and conducted by a team of graduate students.
