The Department offers one of the few active graduate programs in choral conducting in Canada. The program emphasizes practical experience in conducting and rehearsal technique, knowledge of repertoire, and development of research skills. The Concert Choir and Madrigal Singers provide opportunities to participate both as a singer and as a choral assistant. Both choirs maintain active concert and touring schedules and have appeared with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra and are featured on CBC regional and national broadcasts.
