The Lawrence Chorale encourages all students from the entire university with an interest in singing to participate. The 110 voice 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 Britten War Requiem, Handel Messiah, Beethoven Mass in C, and Walton Henry V Suite in recent years. Viking Chorale achieves high artistic singing, but the rehearsal demands are minimal, fitting comfortably into a vigorous academic schedule.
