More than a face in a choir.

In Southern Virginia University’s vocal ensembles, your director is devoted to providing you with a personalized, engaging, and faith-filled experience. Join with friends who share your passion for transcendent music making and uplift and inspire audiences with your voice.

  • Translating to “beautiful voice” in Italian, Bella Voce is where you can be part of a large vocal ensemble while still receiving individual attention from your world-class director. With frequent opportunities for large SATB collaboration, you can continue to make powerful music without having to major in music.

    Treble Ensemble

  • In Men’s Chorus, you get the best of both worlds: individual attention from your world-class director while belonging to a large choir. With frequent opportunities for large SATB collaboration, you can continue your passion for music regardless of your major.

    Lower-Voice Ensemble

  • Southern Virginia University’s premiere auditioned SATB ensemble. With a motto to spread joy through heavenly music, Chamber Singers build community, compassion, integrity, and excellence. In this ensemble, you will have the opportunity to submit for conferences and competitions along the East Coast and perform and network with professionals in the height of their careers.

    Choral Mastery

  • Train your ear and challenge your voice as a member of Accolade, our auditioned a cappella ensemble. As part of a select team of highly skilled vocalists, you will perform compelling, contemporary arrangements in inspirational concerts and have the opportunity to compete along the East Coast.

    Train. Unite. Perform. Compete.
