UNIVERSITY CONCERT CHOIR

Founded in 1970, the University of Alberta Concert Choir (UACC) provides an opportunity for students from all faculties to explore their love of choral music at an intermediate level. Membership is open to students through auditions held at the beginning of each year. Singers come from diverse programs such as business, science, education, and a range of the arts including music itself. 

Choristers learn a wide variety of choral repertoire each year, from sacred renaissance motets and masses to modern spirituals, contemporary secular works, and even large works with orchestra. The UACC has appeared with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, has performed at the Alberta Music Conference, been heard on national broadcast of the CBC, and been regular national semi-finalists in the CBC Amateur Choir Competition.

Tours form an important part of the education and experience of these young singers. Over the 53-year history of the choir, travels have taken the ensemble across the world, to the United States, Europe, China, and Iceland. The choir has also toured in Canada, visiting the east coast, Ontario, Vancouver, Vancouver, Island, and of course various parts of Alberta.

Most importantly, the University of Alberta Concert Choir provides an environment for students from diverse backgrounds to come together to share in their love of choral music. It is proud to foster an inclusive environment, where all students are free to express themselves as we sing together.
