The University of South Alabama Concert Choir, in collaboration with members of the Mobile Opera Chorus, performed in Beethoven's Symphony #9 with the Mobile Symphony Orchestra on April 9 and 10, 2011. Standing ovations from capacity crowds greeted both their performances. Maestro Scott Speck said “Without a doubt, that's the best choral sound we've ever had with the Symphony.”

The USA Concert Choir, under the direction of Dr. Laura Moore, most recently performed with the MSO for their December Pops Concerts in December 2010. This collaboration will continue in the spring of 2012, when the Concert Choir will perform Orff’s Carmina Burana with the Mobile Symphony.

For information on the USA choral program, please contact Dr. Laura Moore, Director of Choral Activities, at lauramoore@usouthal, or at 460-6361.
