The Cornell University Chorus, founded in 1920, is an entirely student-run organization and has gained a reputation as one of the nation’s outstanding treble choirs. Comprising roughly fifty students drawn from every college and many academic majors, the Chorus performs a repertoire spanning eight centuries and over a dozen languages, ranging from masses and motets to spirituals, folksong, world music, jazz, and a variety of other classical and contemporary pieces. Since 2003, the Chorus has made a special point of commissioning new works from women composers, with the goal of expanding the contemporary repertoire for treble voices. In 2020, the Chorus honored its Centennial, a celebration of 100 years of treble choral music at Cornell.

The Chorus will be performing on May 30th at St. Mark's United Methodist Church, San Diego (3502 Clairemont Dr, San Diego, CA 92117). The concert will last from 7 pm until approximately 8 or 8:30 pm. Admission to the concert is free.
