This preview of the 2026 International Tour repertoire invites listeners to journey Into the Unknown. Sarah Frook Gallo, director; Liz Olson, assistant director.
LEHIGH CHORAL ARTS – ALL SINGERS WELCOME!
Lehigh's strong tradition of singing dates back to 1869. In 1978, the Glee Club and Chamber Singers combined under director Robert ("Boss") Cutler to form the University Choir.
Since then, the program has grown to include four ensembles. They all tour internationally and are featured at four concerts annually at Lehigh's state-of-the-art Zoellner Arts Center.
Lehigh University Choir - 50 undergraduate mixed voice choir
Lehigh University Glee Club - one of the oldest tenor-bass choirs in the nation
Dolce - Lehigh University's treble choir
The Choral Union - includes students, faculty, staff and townspeople. The Lehigh Valley's only symphonic choir, performing major works with orchestra. Townspeople and Lehigh staff and faculty may see more information on joining Choral Union here.
Current LUCA members can access the calendar for upcoming rehearsals and events here.
Students in our ensembles come from all disciplines of the University. Singers in the Glee Club and Dolce are selected from the University Choir. There is only one audition required for these three groups. (There is no audition required for Choral Union.)
All ensembles are offered for university credit - your choice of 0 or 1 credit each. Auditions for University Choir, Glee Club and Dolce occur at the beginning and end of each semester. It's never too late!
Students: For more information on auditions or any questions, please contact Recruitment Manager Rose Falletta (rof226@lehigh.edu). Townspeople, faculty and staff interested in joining Choral Union may contact Charis Lasky (charislucu@comcast.net).

JOHN COLE (’82)
My dear friend and fellow Lehigh Choir alum, Karen (Lindquist) Randall, ’83, once told me, “I think when you sing with people, you form a bond with them that is unique. A choir is different from your normal circle of friends or other groups you form based on many shared similarities. It’s a more diverse group, drawn together by a single, mutual interest. It’s the love of music that matters, at least at first. Then, as you join voices, something mystical happens. The thrill of creating something of beauty together forges that bond and leads to a realization: the differences between people you thought were there really aren’t there at all. You become a better person. Making music has a powerful effect.” I couldn’t agree more. I’ve heard similar sentiments from other musicians, and I know it’s true for me. read more
