The Baylor University Men’s Choir will be in concert in our worship center the evening of Sunday, October 26 at 6:00 p.m. The concert is free, and we will take a love offering for their upcoming mission trip to Argentina.
The choir (formerly the Men’s Glee Club) is an auditioned group of male musicians. The group has a strong heritage, dating back to the fall of 1895, and has served as an integral part of the university’s music program.
Past concert highlights include performances at Carnegie Hall, Saint Bartholomew Episcopal Church in New York, the Texas Music Educators Association Convention, and the Southwestern American Choral Directors Association Convention. The choir’s most recent international tour was to Kenya in the summer of 2005. The group’s annual season includes performances for Parent’s Weekend, Fall and Spring Concerts, Tour Concerts, the Baylor University Christmas Concerts and frequent appearances for university guests, alumni, and members of the wider community.
Membership in the choir is open by audition to all male students on the Baylor campus and includes representatives from many departments and majors. Rehearsals are limited to two eighty-minute sessions each week. For more information, visit their website.
