Concert Choir is open to all ESU students, faculty/staff, and community members who have had previous choral singing experience. The 70–voice ensemble performs a wide range of music in concert every semester, including major works with orchestra such as Handels's Messiah, Vivaldi's Gloria and Rutter's Requiem, and at campus events such as the Holiday Tree Lighting. Our Spring 2008 performance featured Bach's Magnificat with soloists and orchestra, and the world premiere of a new work by composer David Lantz commissioned by the East Stroudsburg University Concert Choir.

Concert Choir rehearses Tuesday evenings 7:15–9:15 PM. in the Recital Hall of the University's Fine & Performing Arts Center on Normal Street. Rehearsals for the Fall 2008 semester begin on August 26. Community members age 16 and over may join during any of the first three rehearsals of each semester. There is no formal audition, but all newcomers will be heard very briefly in private to assure they can accurately match pitches. There is no membership fee, but first–time community members must submit a $20.00 music deposit which is refunded upon return of the music. No prior signup is required — interested singers should simply come to rehearsal. May be taken for credit (1) as MUS 130 or non–credit.
