The University of Oregon Chamber Choir, one of UO’s premier music ensembles, has been invited to perform at the World Choir Games. This group of 38 performers brings together perspectives from across campus, with students participating from a broad range of majors, from neuroscience to business, who share a deep passion for music.
The World Choir Games is an international choral competition that focuses on peaceful competition and bringing people together through song. Due to their previous international success in Estonia, Ireland, Germany, Sweden, and Spain, the UO Chamber Choir will be performing in the highly select “Champions Competition.”

Not all students can travel abroad as part of their college experience. Students who have had the unique opportunity to perform internationally on behalf of the UO in the past have spoken of the community they felt with other performers from around the world.

Please consider a gift to provide these students with the trip of a lifetime.
