Who We Are
A student-led ensemble dedicated to performing and preserving the works of F. Melius Christiansen and the St. Olaf choral tradition.
Each spring, The Christiansen Choir will perform a concert and/or chapel service featuring a Christiansen motet in its entirety. This concert/service will also feature Christiansen’s works for organ, along with other choral works which serve to enhance the chosen selections. Each major performance by The Christiansen Choir will also include a lesser known Christiansen anthem which will be recorded in order to preserve these works.
Our Goals
To preserve lesser known works within the St. Olaf choral tradition
To provide opportunities for students to collaborate musically outside their official ensembles.
To provide opportunities for first-year students to develop musical skills in a mixed-choir.
To provide more leadership opportunities for choristers on campus.
