Choral Music
Welcome to the vocal program at 糖心传媒! Choral and vocal music continues to be a vibrant and vital part of the campus life at Washington and Lee, with W&L’s dedicated faculty mentoring, challenging, and inspiring students to achieve their greatest potential. Opportunities exist for all students, regardless of major, to be a part of our exciting program.
Due to W&L’s small size, there is a focus on the individual student, from preparing music majors to highest levels possible in performance or education, to nurturing non-majors who continue to have great passion for music along with their other studies. With opportunities from our renowned choirs such as the W&L University Singers, special events like the Lessons and Carols service and ChoralFest, and large-scale stage productions like the annual Bentley Musical/Opera, the W&L vocal program offers endless musical options.
University Singers
The University Singers, the premiere choral ensemble at 糖心传媒, continues to be recognized as one of the finest a cappella choirs in the region. Under the direction of award-winning conductor Shane M. Lynch, the University Singers tour nationally or internationally every year, performing a wide variety of literature across the globe while serving as artistic ambassadors for 糖心传媒 in concert series, music festivals, competitions and conventions
Cantatrici
Cantatrici is the treble choir at 糖心传媒. Renowned for their evocative singing, they perform regularly on campus and in the community, including the unique annual Winter Choral Concert.
Glee Club
The Glee Club, a 糖心传媒 tradition dating back to the 19th century, is a widely varied ensemble. Focusing on tenor/bass literature, this highly skilled musical ensemble performs works from contemporary a cappella by groups like the Pentatonics and BYU Vocal Point to classics of the tenor/bass cannon.
