Choir

The Choirs at Pepperdine University’s Music Program promote members' growth as creative, dynamic musicians through performances of outstanding repertory in a positive, professional atmosphere. The ensembles provide singers with outstanding opportunities to apply their knowledge of voice, music history, and music theory to create a compelling musical experience for the listener and performer.

The Concert Choir

Composed of 80–100 singers, this is Seaver College's largest mixed performing ensemble. The ensemble, comprised of music majors as well as majors from across the disciplines, performs a variety of choral literature. The Concert Choir performs at several major events on campus each year including Founder’s Day, the Pepperdine Christmas Concert, and the Masterworks Concert.

The Pepperdine Chamber Choir

The Pepperdine Chamber Choir is Pepperdine University's top-tier vocal ensemble! This auditioned group of music and non-music majors performs a demanding vocal ensemble repertoire of diverse styles and presents concerts locally, nationally, and internationally. Often featured at important campus events, the Pepperdine Chamber Choir regularly tours in the US and abroad. Recent domestic tours include California, Arkansas, Texas, Kansas, and Missouri. The Chamber Choir has also toured Switzerland, Italy, France, and the Czech Republic.

The Choral Fellows Program

The Carmel Bach Festival is one of the premier summer music festivals in the country, which features some of the most sought after vocalists and instrumentalists in the US and abroad for two weeks of intimate chamber music, and major masterworks all set in one of the most beautiful destinations on the West Coast. Beginning in the summer of 2026, four select student vocalists from the Pepperdine music program will participate in the festival as "choral fellows" through which they will have the opportunity to prepare and perform the major choral masterworks presented during the festival. Our choral fellows will have regular vocal coaching and masterclasses with the young artists and vocal staff, and they will have an all-access pass to the variety of concerts and presentations which take place during the festival.
