Pacific Choral Ensembles

The Pacific Choral Ensembles have had a long and distinguished tradition at University of the Pacific. They are a rich and vital component of Pacific life and a platform for the fundamentals of ensemble collaboration, musicianship and musicality, providing students with an opportunity to learn diverse styles and genres while singing with others.

Our choral students have been admitted to the nation’s leading masterclasses including Yale Summer School of Music-Norfolk Chamber Music Festival and National ACDA undergraduate conducting masterclass. Graduates are actively involved in the regional and national choral scene through their careers as music educators while the others pursue degrees in the graduate programs with strong choral legacy.
