The UNLV CHORAL ENSEMBLES enjoy a reputation for excellent performances throughout the
southwest and beyond. The choirs recently were praised for a concert described as “…glorious, yet
disciplined. The choruses performed with unaffected charisma.” Under the direction of David B. Weiller
and Jocelyn K. Jensen, the choirs (University Concert Singers, Chamber Chorale, Varsity Men’s Glee
Club and Women’s Chorus) present several concerts annually on the university campus and in the
greater Las Vegas community. Tours have encompassed Nevada, California, Arizona, Utah and
Colorado, as well as itineraries in Hawaii, New York, Mexico, and Canada. Notable highlights include
appearances with the world renowned Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra and a massed choir
performance in New York City’s Carnegie Hall.
An outstanding faculty of artist-scholars in the Department of Music supports the choirs, including
voice professors Alfonse Anderson, Tod Fitzpatrick, Linda Lister, and Stephanie Weiss. The Department
of Music offers a full complement of B.A., B.M., M.M., and D.M.A. degrees.
The UNLV Choral Ensembles express their heartfelt appreciation to
the Las Vegas Master Singers and Dr. Jocelyn K. Jensen
for their vision and commitment in establishing
THE SUSAN L. JOHNSON SCHOLARSHIP FOR CHORAL STUDIES,
an endowed fund providing ongoing support of talented choral musicians at UNLV.
