Assumption College's Music Ministries include the Chapel Choir, which provides music for the weekly 7PM Mass, the Mass of the Holy Spirit, the college's Advent Service of Lessons and Carols, and the Baccalaureate Mass, as well as other special liturgical celebrations. The Chapel Choir also performed at the President's Council dinner in October.

The Choir is currently comprised of 65 students, who possess many levels of musical talent, and is conducted by Jane Shivick, Director of Chapel Choirs and National Winner of the Metropolitan Opera Auditions, and accompanied by Dr. Frank Corbin, Director of Chapel Music, nationally renowned organist and Lecturer in Music.

Members of the Chapel Choir meet weekly to rehearse in the Chapel of the Holy Spirit and work hard at refining good vocal and musical skills while maintaining a casual atmosphere.

The Chapel Choir runs on a three year cycle. Every three years Chapel Choir members have the opportunity to perform in a fully-staged production of Steven Schwartz's smash-hit musical GODSPELL (last performed in March 2004), participate in a Mission Tour within the United States (May 2005), and present a Lenten Service containing selections from Handel's Messiah (April 2006).

In addition to the Chapel Choir are the 10 AM and Festival Choirs. Established in 1999, these choirs are comprised of members of the community including college alumni, faculty and staff who worship regularly in the Chapel on Sunday mornings. The 10 AM Choir sings for six Masses throughout the academic year. The Festival Choir provides music for the Christmas Eve and Easter Vigil Masses as well as other special liturgies celebrated in the Chapel.
