MUSIC

Since its founding in 1912, the St. Olaf Choir has set a standard in the choral arts, serving as a model for choirs of all levels. With 75 mixed voices, it is the pioneer a cappella choir in the United States. For nearly a century, the choir has set the bar of choral excellence and remained at the forefront of choral artistry. Conducted since 1990 by Anton Armstrong, the St. Olaf Choir continues to develop the tradition that originated with its founder, F. Melius Christiansen. The choir’s mission is to provide music of the highest quality that lifts people's hearts and spirits, incorporating a diversity of voices and cultural traditions into the chorus of the Christian faith.
