As of Fall 2026, the department is delighted to welcome Julian Dürr onto the faculty as its new director of Choral & Vocal Activities! Professor Dürr will now be conducting the following ensembles: 

Concert Choir (MUS 40)

Concert Choir, the college's daytime chorus, is open to all students, majors and nonmajors alike, and focuses primarily on contemporary repertoire while building a strong foundation in the fundamentals of choral singing and ensemble musicianship.

Concert Choir frequently performs jointly with the Shasta College Chorale (see below), while also contributing its own unique selections to each concert. These performances also offer select students within the ensemble opportunities for solo performances, small group performances, or solo features with the choir(s) or featured instrumental ensembles.

Shasta College Chorale (MUS 42)

Shasta College Chorale is the college's evening chorus, open by audition or conductor's approval. This large-scale, symphonic choir combines music majors, volunteer professionals, and experienced singers, frequently collaborating with the Shasta Symphony and other instrumental ensembles. The Chorale focuses on the finest works of choral literature, including major large-scale masterworks, often featuring invited guest vocal soloists, and presents at least one concert per semester in addition to its many collaborative engagements.

Both choirs offer a free, non-credit option (MUS 303) for community members and others who wish to participate without enrolling for academic credit.

For information about enrollment, auditioning, or performance opportunities, please contact Julian Dürr (jdürr@shastacollege.edu).
