We count on participants to carry a tune accurately and to follow along a musical score, and we pledge to foster excellent musicianship through our rehearsals and performances. Recent concerts have included works of Brahms, Faure, Handel, Haydn, Mozart, Schumann, Mendelssohn, Randall Thompson, Jean Berger, John Rutter, George Gershwin, and Morten Lauridsen.The Chorus is directed by Jeff Rehbach, and accompanied by George Matthew, Jr, who is also is the College's distinguished master carillonneur.
