JU Choral Music

Choral Music at Jacksonville University

Under the direction of Timothy Snyder since 2010, the Jacksonville University Choirs contribute to the cultural life of northeastern Florida by bringing high quality and artistically polished performances of the choral repertoire to campus, the community and the region.

The JU Choirs have performed for the American Choral Directors Association, Beaches Fine Arts Series, Chamber Music Society of Good Shepherd, and the Florida Music Educators Association.  Notable appearances include concerts in New York’s Avery Fisher Hall, England’s Canterbury Cathedral and numerous collaborations with the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra. 

​

There is place for all who wish to sing at JU, regardless of choral experience or major.  All interested students are encouraged to join us in one of three main ensembles:

University Women’s Chorus  - University Men’s Chorus

The University Women’s and Men’s Choruses are dedicated to the performance of choral music drawn from a variety of genres and styles, including classical and contemporary works, musical theatre, jazz, collegiate Glee Club repertoire and part-songs.   An emphasis is placed on vocal development and musicianship skills.  No Audition Required.
