Thomas More College Department of Music

The Thomas More University Choral Activities program integrates elements of auditory, vocal, kinesthetic, and aesthetic dimensions of choral music through analysis and exploration of vocal performance, efficient rehearsals, and high-quality performance. Choral repertoire is intentionally eclectic, covering a wide range of musical idioms in a variety of languages spanning from the Renaissance to contemporary music as well as music traditions of diverse cultures and popular music. Thomas More Choral Activities presents at least two concerts each semester and supports various artistic events throughout the Thomas More community and Northern Kentucky/Southern Ohio region. Ensembles such as the Thomas More Chamber Choir present a regular regional tour each spring. As a part of the rich liberal arts programs at Thomas More, our choral program seeks to give all students an opportunity to make music, regardless of major or previous choral experience. Our program provides students with an awareness of major composers and important musical forms/stylistic traits and a familiarity with the most significant musical works representative of those periods. As a liberal arts school, Thomas More prides itself on giving students an awareness of the social, historical, and philosophical ideas that influence the works that students perform. Music is both an art and a science. We hope that by participating in choral music at Thomas More, you will engage yourself musically, socially, mentally, and spiritually.
