Laurentian Singers

Laurentian Singers sing at major events on campus throughout the year.

A  select choir of undergraduate student singers, the Laurentians continue a rich 65-year legacy of choral excellence, performing regularly throughout the year on campus, in the North Country, and nationally and internationally on tour every year during spring break. Their far-ranging repertoire is drawn from the entire span of Euro-American classical traditions as well as world and popular idioms.

The Laurentians will musically spend this year in France, concentrating on that long and rich cultural tradition singing medieval and modern motets, Renaissance  and 20th Century chansons, folk and popular songs. Tour will begin in French Canada in Montreal and end in Paris by way of Rouen and Chartres. Other repertoire will include eastern Asian music, including a work by SLU's own In-Sil Yoo and arrangements of spiriutals by Moses Hogan. Their annual Christmas Concert and Carol Sing will include music by Charpentier and Poulenc along with French carols and American songs of the season such as I'll Be Home for Christmas by SLU alum J.K. Gannon.
