Formed in 1985, the BYU-Hawaii Concert Choir is the university's premier SATB ensemble. The choir performs a cappella and accompanied choral literature ranging from classical oratorio literature as well as international folk music, American musical theater selections, and art music of Europe, the Americas, and the South Pacific. Performances are frequently integrated with traditional Hawaiian numbers where choir members captivate crowds with customary dances and a variety of accompanying instruments.
The choir consists of approximately 60 university students representing more than 15 countries, such as South Korea, New Zealand, French Polynesia, Japan, Malaysia, Tonga, Samoa, and others. They have most recently toured throughout Japan and Korea. Future performances include Carnegie Hall on June 5, 2006, and an extended 3-week tour throughout China and Mongolia in May of 2007.
