The Thiel Choir is the main performing choir of the College. It tours annually during spring break to all regions of the eastern United States and Canada. Once every four years, the choir makes an international tour. The choir performs at Thiel convocations, at area churches, sings at the Thiel Christmas Festival and joins with area community singers each spring to perform oratorios, cantatas or other larger choral works.

Membership is open to Thiel students and selected Thiel High School Scholars through an audition process at the beginning of each semester. Contact Dr. Michael Bray for more information.
