Vocal Groups
  Choral Union
Music has some of its greatest roots in vocal expression. Singing within a group setting provides an unusual peak experience and opportunity for interaction with other performers while communicating through the eyes of a composer.
Choral Union is a large chorus of mixed voices who perform with piano accompaniment. A wide variety of choral works are explored each semester.
Lachrimae
Lachrimae is a select group of singers and players who perform, in
period costume, the music and dance of the Middle Ages and
Renaissance. Students, faculty and staff are invited to sing or
play any number of early instruments including recorder, cornamuse,
sackbut, cornetto, harpsichord, Renaissance flute, rebec and harp.
We perform regularly on campus and throughout the Monadnock Region
of New Hampshire. Lachrimae has been delighting area audiences
with its unique blend of early music, dance and humor since 1979.
 Messiah Festival
Handel's oratorio "Messiah" is performed each December by a chorus of over 250 students, faculty, staff, alumni and townspeople. The performance is accompanied by a semi-professional baroque orchestra. A series of one day rehearsals precedes the evening festival. The concert is a major cultural event for the Monadnock Region and each year attracts a capacity audience to the campus.
