Concert: Centenary Concert Choir & Choir from the technical University

Get ready for an evening of choir music presented by the Centenary Concert Choir from Luisiana and the Witamy Choir from Poland!

One of the enduring legacies of Centenary College is its globe-trotting Choir, having now sung in over 35 countries across the world, giving rise to its nickname as “America’s Singing Ambassadors” by the press. Organized in 1941 by Dr. A.C. “Cheesy” Voran, this diverse travel agenda is mirrored by an eclectic repertoire, ranging from Bach to Broadway, folk to classical, spirituals to hymns and so much more. As Centenary College continues its year-long Bicentennial Birthday celebration, the Choir marked the occasion with a grand reunion of the Choir for its annual fall program, Rhapsody in View.

The annual schedule of the Choir usually finds the group offering around 35 performances in an array of tour concerts, college ceremonies, church and alumni relations programs, recruitment activities, and other Shreveport/Bossier City community events. Fall highlights of the 2025-26 season include the aforementioned Rhapsody in View and special Christmas performances including the annual television program broadcast throughout the Ark-La-Tex. In February, the Choir will join Emmett Hook Center’s production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat as well as participate in the College’s community Easter Sunrise service. The Choir’s year ends with a robust tour of Central Europe, offering concerts in Poland, Hungary, and Austria.

The students of the Choir come from many areas of the nation and other countries and represent most of the academic majors offered by the College. Members of the Choir receive one of the finest college educations possible while making enduring friendships as a part of the Choir family and tradition. Members are selected by auditions held October through March for the following term. Persons wishing to audition should contact the director of the choir or Hurley School of Music to arrange an appointment. The Choir offers scholarships for all its members. For those interested in majoring in music, the College offers an extensive Music degrees with several optional areas of emphasis, including performance, conducting, music education, and composition.
