Most recently, the choir has been exploring the centuries-old traditions of choral masterworks such as Handel’s Messiah, Bach’s Mass in B Minor, and Brahms’ Ein Deutsches Requiem, while also adventuring into the newest, most powerful choral events of the twenty-first century, such as Craig Hella Johnson’s Considering Matthew Shepard and Dale Trumbore’s How to Go On. Critics have hailed recent performances as “richly moving,” and “coolly beautiful” with an “ideal balance of transparency and warmth” (Boston Globe; Boston Musical Intelligencer; Boston Classical Review). In the summer of 2019, Collegium embarked on an international tour across South Africa, engaging with local communities to learn about and share in the rich traditions of black South African choral music.

Collegium is proud to foster a tradition of excellence through community, as reflected in its institutional collaboration, alumni engagement, earnest inclusivity, and lifelong bonds between members. As an independent 501(c)(3) organization managed and overseen entirely by undergraduate students, Collegium provides valuable experience in arts administration, concert production, marketing, tour planning, and other facets of non-profit leadership, and many of our graduates are inspired to embark on related careers in public service, arts advocacy, and music education.
