State Singers

State Singers

State Singers

The continued pursuit of excellence is still the primary goal for this ensemble. State Singers is the premiere choral-vocal ensemble at Mississippi State and membership is granted through a competitive audition process. State Singers study and perform complex repertoire from all stylistic genres, accompanied and a cappella, including compositions by Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, J.A.C. Redford, Badings, Schutz, and many others. In addition to performing and touring, the daily curriculum challenges singers to hone their personal musicianship skills, apply and synthesize musical facts and concepts presented in other course work, and develop a professional work ethic. Comprised of approximately 48 singers, State Singers perform full-length concerts, both on and off campus, numerous collaborative projects, and for a variety of University functions. The ensemble has performed at state and regional conferences of the American Choral Directors Association and the National Association for Music Educators. Other important performances include international tours of Spain, France, Austria, The Czech Republic, and in 2016 the choir performed at The White House. 

Touring with the ensemble is mandatory.
