ChoirsBLACK CELESTIAL CHORAL ENSEMBLEFounded in 1977, The Black Celestial Choral Ensemble is a choir comprised of students at Syracuse University dedicated to ministering and lifting up the name of Jesus Christ! Through passionate praise and worship, we share our ability as vocalists, but more importantly we share the love of Jesus Christ.

HENDRICKS CHAPEL CHOIR The Hendricks Chapel choir is an auditioned mixed ensemble representing many of the colleges and majors available at Syracuse University and the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry. One of five all-student choirs within the Setnor School of Music, the Hendricks Chapel Choir rehearses once weekly on Thursday evenings, meets for sectional rehearsals for an additional hour per week, and sings for various events in service to the University and the community including Holidays at Hendricks.
