The Freed-Hardeman University Chorale was formed in 2004 and is a mixed ensemble of musicians who are both music major and non-music major students. The University Chorale specializes in sacred unaccompanied selections, but is not limited to that repertoire. The director, Dr. Gary McKnight, is dedicated to the study and performance of the finest choral literature of all music eras, as well as to developing the talents of each of the group's members.
Auditions for new members are held at the beginning of the fall semester. The University Chorale rehearses daily and maintains an active concert and touring schedule. The Chorale makes extended bus tours, and every other summer many of its members participate in a campaign in which the group travels overseas, presenting concerts arranged by local churches and assisting with mission efforts.
