Mason ChoralE

"Chorale transformed music from being my hobby to being my career. It brought so much joy to me, that l am now inspired and committed to do the same for those in my choirs. My favorite memories from my years in college come from my time in Chorale."

— Jacob Lash, A Recent Alumnus

George Mason Chorale

The George Mason University Chorale is a welcoming community of musicians from across the University and singers in the ensemble represent more than 35 majors across campus. The Chorale performs a wide range of literature from world music to Broadway. Mrs. Jane Kaye is the collaborative pianist for the ensemble.

The ensemble performs with the Mason Symphony Orchestra annually and has performed for the Inauguration of GMU President Cabrera and supports other events on campus. Representatives from the Chorale have opened events on campus for President Obama. They have performed at the Virginia Music Educators Conference and most recently have represented George Mason University in a performance of Carmina Burana with the National Symphony Orchestra at Wolftrap.

Broadway Showcase

The Broadway Showcase is a popular feature of the choral program at Mason each spring semester. Students  assist with the design, coaching, and creating choreography for the production. Chorlae celebrated it’s 10th Anniversary Showcase in April of 2018 at the Harris Theater on the George Mason Fairfax Campus.

Africa Trip

The University Chorale traveled to Nairobi, Kenya in the spring of 2019. Through a generous grant from the Global Education Office, 21 students were able to travel for a week and experienced choral concerts, workshops and the local culture. Experiencing the rare opportunity to travel to Massai Mara and view the beauty of the African people, land and animals on safari was a highlight of the trip. Friendships have continued to grow with the musicians and students from Kenyatta University and members of the Nairobi Chamber Choir and Safaricom Workplace Choir.
