African-American Choral Ensemble From its rich beginnings in the early 70’s as the Pamoja Singers, the University of Georgia African American Choral Ensemble (AACE) has endeavored to keep concert halls and churches filled with the powerful sounds and wealth of indigenous musical treasures birthed from the African American experience. Choral Project Today, many professional choirs rehearse on a “project” model, where singers from all over the country are engaged for singular projects, travel to a city, rehearse intensely for a few days before the concert, perform, and then scatter again. The UGA Choral Project seeks provide our students a near-professional experience during their study at UGA. Hodgson Singers The Hodgson Singers is UGA’s premiere choral ensemble made up of many of the university’s most talented and dedicated singers. Students are eligible for membership in Hodgson Singers only after participating in one of the other UGA choral ensembles for at least one semester, and passing a thorough audition process. Repertory Singers The Repertory Singers is a mixed chamber choir designed to offer laboratory rehearsal and performance experience for graduate-student conductors and upper-level music education students. The ensemble is designed to appeal to students (music-majors and non-music-majors) who wish to be part of an ongoing conducting masterclass environment as well as those wanting to build knowledge and skill in the areas of sight-reading, conducting gesture, rehearsal techniques, and choral repertoire.
