The Assumption College Chorale is an auditioned concert
choir which is comprised of men and women who are studying
for professions in all walks of life and who share an interest
in choral singing. The Chorale includes high-achieving
students who have sung in District and All State Choruses
in High School, and often includes a number of student
leaders, such as Resident Assistants, class officers, and
officers and senators of SGA. The Chorale performs great
choral repertoire of all style periods from Gregorian chant
to twentieth century music. Their active performance schedule
has included concerts in the United States, as well as
performances on radio and television.
The Chorale’s international concert tours have
taken them to Italy, France, Germany, Austria, Hungary,
Poland, the Czech Republic, and Russia. They have sung
in some of the great cathedrals of Europe, including Notre
Dame in Paris, and St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome.
They have twice had the distinction of singing for Pope
John Paul II at the Vatican. Other places they have sung
include St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York, the
National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington,
DC, and the American Ambassador’s Residence (Spaso
House) in Moscow.
Auditions for the Chorale are held by the Director, Dr.
Michelle Graveline, at the beginning of each semester.
Interested students should contact Dr. Graveline to indicate
their interest.
