AU Concerts and Recitals
Discover your passion for music through performance. Not only do students partake in concert settings, but AU faculty are highly-trained professionals and accomplished performers themselves. Watch the videos of Associate Professor of Music Cristian Pastorello, Adjunct Music Instructor Joyce Lawson, and the AU Chorale perform in concert.
Touring
Every year during the spring semester, the AU choirs embark on a concert tour to numerous locations across the United States. The tours allow students to experience a commitment to musical excellence, peer camaraderie, building teamwork skills, and learning how to consistently communicate to new audiences.
In May 2023, the AU Chorale embarked on the first-ever choir tour abroad in the history of the university to Ireland. Watch the video below or click here to learn more about the overseas tour.
