Vocal music plays an important part of daily life for many Bethany students.
Whether singing a hymn in chapel, attending an afternoon choir rehearsal, or
studying opera techniques, a student interested in singing will have many opportunities
at Bethany.
Bethany offers bachelor of arts degrees in
music
and
church music
. The music degrees are built upon the understanding that music, with all of
the arts, derives its purpose and strength from its role as a servant of Christ
and His church.
Choral Opportunities at Bethany
Bethany maintains three choral groups, each of which offers a different experience.
The
Concert Choir
is typically the largest of the choral groups with 50-70 students participating
each year. In addition to touring, the auditioned SATB group performs in local
concerts and beautifies chapel services regularly.
Mary Martha Singers
is a four-part women's chorus. The group, which consists of 20-30 members, performs
regularly both separately and alongside the Concert Choir.
Bethany's
Choraliers
presents a lyric-theatre production each February. Beginning rehearsals in the
fall semester, Choraliers typically has 40 to 60 participants.
