CHORAL
Georgia State’s School of Music is home to a decades-long tradition of excellence in choral music. Our four choirs provide a range of musical experiences for our students from traditional choral repertoire, chamber music, early music, gospel, vocal jazz, opera and large masterworks. Georgia State truly is a place where singers feel dedicated, challenged and inspired.
The master of music offers concentrations in choral conducting and voice performance.
Departmental ensembles have achieved local, national and international recognition through performances with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Atlanta Ballet, and the Atlanta Opera. GSU Choirs have made appearances at divisional and national conferences of the American Choral Directors Association (ACDA), the National Collegiate Choral Organization (NCCO) and the Georgia Music Educator’s Association (GMEA).
The Georgia State University Choirs have hosted residencies with GRAMMY Award-Winning artists and ensembles including Eric Whitacre and with vocal ensemble, Roomful of Teeth and Pulitzer Prize-winning composer, Caroline Shaw.
In addition to the Bachelor of Music in choral music education, voice performance, music technology, and music management, the School of Music is proud to offer the Master of Music degree in choral conducting. The conducting students benefit from an energetic choral faculty, an abundance of podium time with multiple choirs and ample performance opportunities. Scholarships are available for undergraduate students. Graduate assistantships that include stipends and full or partial tuition remission are available for choral and vocal students.
