The Hastings College Choir
“It’s like being in the All-State Choir every single day!” noted one member of our flagship mixed-voice ensemble — and it’s true! Since 1882 we’ve been singing America’s favorite songs of faith and laughter and love to world-wide acclaim. Membership in The Hastings College Choir is open to all students by audition, which is held during the first week of classes each semester. Check out a playlist on YouTube or click ‘play’ above. The Choir is directed by Dr. Brett Epperson, brett.epperson@hastings.edu.

The Hastings College Choral Union is a is open to all students on campus, and no audition is required. It performs a variety of musical styles multiple times per year. The Choral Union also “expands” every few years to include alumni, community members, high school singers, guest soloists and conductors for a massed-choir production of Handel’s Messiah, a long-running holiday tradition. You can view the most recent production here.
