MIT Concert Choir

The MIT Concert Choir, directed by Ryan Turner, is a large choral group 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 major works from the standard repertoire, as well as selected shorter and lesser-known pieces.

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, and frequent collaborations with the MIT Symphony and MIT Wind Ensemble. When appropriate, student soloists are also featured. You can find a more detailed history of MIT's Concert Choir here.
