This large mixed chorus provides the opportunity for collaboration between Davidson students, faculty, staff, alumni, and members of the surrounding community to sing a cappella choral literature and the finest choral/orchestral repertoire with instrumentalists from the Charlotte Symphony and professional soloists from Davidson and around the world. Recent performances have included Handel's Messiah, Mozart's Requiem, Bach's Magnificat in D, Vaughan Williams's Dona Nobis Pacem, Mendelssohn's Elijah, Haydn's Creation, and Brahms's Ein deutsches Requiem.
