Choral Ensembles
Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ’s choral ensembles include the Privateer Chorus and the University Chorale. Both perform a wide variety of choral genres, and offer a strong, bonded group of friends within the larger Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ community. Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ choirs have performed with the New Orleans Civic Symphony, members of the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra, the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Wind Ensemble, the Loyola University Orchestra, and prominent guest artists, as well as the choirs from other area institutions such as Tulane, Dillard, and Xavier Universities, the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, The Jefferson Chorale, and the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts.
The choirs exhibit a fine spirit of collaboration and have combined in concert with Tulane, Dillard, Xavier, and Loyola universities as well as the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, Ben Franklin High School, The Jefferson Chorale, and NOCCA (New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts) in the past five years.
