The Brigham Young University Men's Chorus is the largest collegiate male choral organization in the USA and is known not only for its polished musical performances, but also for its engaging and entertaining performance style. Its repertoire is wide and varied, ranging from the traditional literature for male voices to powerful arrangements of hymns, folk songs and spirituals. The choir is one of BYU's most popular performing groups, regularly singing to sold-out concert halls both on and off campus.
Founded in 1958, it has steadily grown to its present membership of 190 voices, with over 400 annually auditioning for the ensemble. As a result of its versatile literature and engaging performance style, the BYU Men's Chorus has captured the admiration of audiences throughout the Western United States and beyond. Each year the choir includes a diverse and unique representation of the university community. Choir members originate not only from the United States and Canada, but from countries throughout the world. Of the 190 members only 18 are music majors with the remainder drawn from every college and department of the university. Over 130 members of the chorus have served LDS missions throughout the world, and a large number are planning to serve after their 19th birthdays.
