The combined ensembles of the NC State Choirs perform with the North Carolina Symphony for the first time at this concert.

The North Carolina State University Choirs offer a community of singers for students who wish to lift their voices in harmony with others. Directed by Dr. Nathan Leaf, the NC State Choirs consist of three ensembles. 

The State Chorale is the premier choral ensemble at NC State. This 50-voice choir is dedicated to upholding and advancing the art of choral music in the collegiate tradition through the performance of the finest choral literature of all eras. The Chorale has a rich tradition and performs regularly throughout the year, including tours every 2-3 years. Members of the State Chorale typically have significant prior vocal experience and strong music reading skills. 

University Singers performs a wide variety of repertoire for SATB choir, with a particular focus on modern compositions. Additional emphasis is also placed on the development of choral skills. All singers are welcome, and most singers who are new to NC State first sing in University Singers. 

With members drawn from State Chorale and University Singers, members of Chamber Singers perform chamber vocal music in small groups, ranging from 4-16 voices, typically with one or two singers on each part.
