Fisk University Choir Fall Tour 2011 Itinerary

The F i s k   U n i v e r s i t y   Choir

 

Originally known as the Mozart Society, the Fisk University Choir was established in 1879 by Adam K. Spence, first principal of the Fisk School. The purpose of the ensemble was to assist the Jubilee Singers during their heavy touring season.

Today, under the leadership of Music Director Dr. Christopher A. Duke, the Fisk University Choir remains the oldest college choir in the state of Tennessee and strives to continue its legacy of fine music. The Fisk University Choir cultivates a diverse repertoire, and its members become acquainted with a wide range of choral music genres including Hymns, Spirituals, Gospel, Classical, and Anthems. 


Concerts & Tours
The Fisk University Choir performs during at least two major concert tours each academic year. The Fisk University Choir travels to Chicago each October for the Fall Semester Tour and typically visits Atlanta, Orlando and West Palm Beach during the Spring Semester Tour.  The Fisk University Choir also performs on campus at University Convocations, Baccalaureate, Commencement, the annual Spring Concert and the Choir can also be seen locally at recruitment events in the Nashville area.
