UConn Ignite is a campus-wide three-week fundraising campaign for student organizations.
We are thrilled to announce we are participating in this year's campaign, raising money for our singers across all ensembles at UConn Choirs.

UConn Choirs welcome everyone - singers, families, choir alumni, and more - to actively support the choral singing and learning happening at the University of Connecticut. We are dedicated to choral music at the highest level, exploring music in a thoughtful way from all backgrounds and cultures. Throughout the year, we have many concerts both on and off campus, welcome renowned guests to campus, host festivals, workshops and special events, participate in choir traditions, and more.

So much joy in the room!

This past Sunday, the UConn Chamber Singers sang at the Choral Arts New England (CANE) Annual Awards Ceremony - an event where grant recipients across New England (including UConn Music alums Jonathan Harvey, Joe D'Eugenio and Ehren Brown) were awarded for their innovative work, and where Jamie Spillane was honored with the 2026 CANE Lifetime Achievement Award. Being together and singing with the Ledyard High School Chamber Choir led by Melanie Cometa and choral leaders from across New England was a moment that will stay with all of us.

All our thanks to the CANE Board for their incredible service and for the gift of coming together for a celebration like this. UConn Music UConn School of Fine Arts

Photos from our 13th annual Young Conductors Symposium!

This past Thursday, high school students and directors across CT came together for an invigorating day exploring music and leadership on and off the podium. Students heard presentations by faculty Jess Dickerson, Dr. Ellen Gilson Voth and Dr. Cara Bernard with break-out discussions led by junior music education students, saw rehearsal demonstrations of UConntabile (led by DMA student Sarah Kaufold) and Chamber Singers (led by Dr. Voth), and had opportunities for Q and A with a student panel, pictured here with Dr. Eric Rice. An inspiring day with lots of fresh ideas for the start of the new year!

Stay tuned for announcements about the 14th annual symposium, and plan to join us!

After an incredible stretch of choral placement hearings, we are thrilled to welcome many new and returning singers for 2026-2027 -- one snapshot of a group of them here -- all of them hitting the ground running!

Congratulations to our incoming first year students from these schools, and to their teachers, who were placed in Choirs at UConn!

UConn Choirs, 2026-27: off and running! Chamber Singers met for pre-season this week, getting a head start on music for the new semester and performing at Convocation to welcome the Class of 2030. Lots of fresh scores, mind-stretching warmups, delicious chords, food, recruiting, energy and joy. A delight to spend the week with these humans!

Next stop - four days of choral placement hearings, starting today! Still a few spots left - now is the time to claim yours!

Today is the day we celebrate the legacy of former Director of Choral Studies, Dr. Peter Bagley on the event of his birthday. Dr. Bagley's impact on the UConn choral program and hundreds of former students is legendary and those students have themselves had a significant impact on the greater choral community. Happy Birthday, Dr. Bagley, and thanks for your many gifts!

Dear friends, I just want to express my unending gratitude to all of you who have given to the Choral Development Fund. So far with the matching grants, we have raised almost $70,000 to support UConn Choirs long into the future. What is amazing is that donations have come from so many alumni, so many parents (past and current), and so many wonderful friends of UConn Choirs including choral directors and friends from around New England and the world. If you did not donate yet and would still like to, the 2:1 match is still on. Every dollar you send will be matched two to one by a generous donor so there is no better time to still make a significant impact. Follow this link to make a difference!
