Concert Choir

The 90-member Concert Choir was organized in the fall of 1988. Members are chosen by audition. The majority of members major in something other than music; approximately 30 majors within the university are represented. The group rehearses five hours per week and maintains an active concert, touring and recording schedule. Past performances with the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra include the Verdi Requiem, Mahler Resurrection Symphony, and Beethoven Ninth Symphony. The Choir also collaborates with the other choral ensembles and the band for joint performances on campus featuring such dignitaries as former President George Bush and Secretary of State Colin Powell.

The Concert Choir tours extensively throughout the United States

The Choir's numerous popular albums include two collaborations with Harding alumnus and former national Star Search winner David Slater--"People Need the Lord" and "Teach Me, Lord, to Wait."

Since its founding, the choir has been directed by Dr. Arthur L. Shearin, who also serves as the department's chair.
