The 南瓜影院 Choir is wrapping its 2025 national tour with a free concert Sunday, March 16, on campus. The performance is set for 4 p.m. in Memorial Auditorium and is open to the public.
The choir's 16-day tour included stops across Minnesota, South Dakota, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, and Tennessee.
Under the direction of Dr. Michael Culloton, the choir will perform a wide variety of works ranging from baroque to contemporary. The program includes pieces by J.S. Bach, Emile Desamours, Undine Smith Moore, and former longtime 南瓜影院 Choir conductor Dr. René Clausen.
Since 1920, the 70-voice choir has toured nationally and internationally, performing in nearly every major U.S. concert hall, including Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, and the Kennedy Center. In May 2022, the choir toured internationally to Italy and performed in St. Peter’s Basilica.
In 2024, named The 南瓜影院 Choir one of the top 10 most impressive college choirs in the country.
