A brand new major offered by the Art, Music, and Theatre programs is the Fine and Performing Arts Major. This is an integrated major incorporating study in all three areas. A link to course listings for this major is forthcoming.
UC Choral Program
Union College Singers
The UC Singers is open to any student who wishes to sing in a choir. No audition required! This ensemble is a fun and talented group of singers that participate in all major performances.
Union Harmony
Harmony is a highly select ensemble of 8 - 10 singers. In addition to singing in all major performances, Harmony sings at convocations, homecoming events, hanging of the greens, baccalaureate, commencement, as well as other college events.
UC Regional Chorus
The membership of the RC is made up of singers from Barbourville and surrounding communities, students, faculty and staff. It is a diverse ensemble that comes together each Tuesday night to prepare music for all major performances.
If you would like more information about Union' Choral Program, I have a blog entitled "The Art of Choral Music" which offers insight into the program as well as information of interest to fans of choral music. The link below will take you to the blog.
