Paul Nesheim, conductor
The Lawrence Chorale encourages all students from the entire university with an interest in singing to participate. The Chorale sings in all major concerts on campus and is involved in the major choral works that take place each year as well. The Chorale has been involved in performances of the Bach Mass in b minor, Brahms Requiem, the Verdi Requiem, Handel's Messiah, and the Britten War Requiem in recent years. The chorale rehearsal demands are minimal, fitting comfortably into a vigorous academic schedule. Many instrumental students find this activity to be beneficial to their musical life on campus. Other repertoire performed includes standard choral repertoire as well as music from around the world. Recent shorter selections include:
Zungo arr. by Uzee Brown, Jr.
Epitaph for moonlight R. Murray Schafer
