University of Oklahoma Choirs

Today we celebrate the graduating members of University Chorale! 🎓

Thank you for your musicianship, leadership, dedication, and the countless ways you helped shape this ensemble and community throughout your time at OU.

Congratulations on this incredible accomplishment and milestone. We’re all proud of you and cannot wait to see all that lies ahead.

There’s only ONE…Boomer!

Carla and Isaiah, members of University Chorale, after their inaugural performance with today.

This is what makes special—a place where students are encouraged and supported in bringing their artistic ideas to life.

Proud of these two and the work they’re doing to create new musical opportunities for our community.

We’re excited to welcome Andrew Dibble to the University of Oklahoma as a new doctoral student in choral conducting.

Andrew is currently completing his sixth year as choral director of the Florence One Center for the Arts magnet program at South Florence High School in South Carolina. Prior to this appointment, he led the choral program at the Indian Springs School in Birmingham, Alabama.

His ensembles have been selected to perform at the South Carolina and Alabama Music Educators Association conferences, the South Carolina ACDA Conference, and the National Association of Independent Schools Conference. He is also a first-place winner of the American Prize in Youth and School Choral Conducting.

Andrew holds degrees in choral conducting and music performance from the Greatbatch School of Music at Houghton College.

Welcome to OU, Andy. Boomer Sooner!

Two weeks out. Mark your calendar!

The OU Combined Choirs and Symphony Orchestra will present a collaborative program exploring fate and the profound impact of war. We invite you to join us for an evening of compelling music that moves from reflection on human experience to an urgent plea for peace.

Thank you to the choral programs at Coppell High School, I.M. Terrell Academy, Arlington Heights High School, and Timber Creek High School for welcoming us during our recent visit to the DFW metroplex.

Our voice, opera, and choral faculty loved working with your singers, and our two undergraduate ambassadors enjoyed singing for the choirs and answering questions about life at OU.

We’re grateful for the chance to meet so many talented young musicians and look forward to welcoming future Sooners!

We’re proud of our OU voice colleagues and students for their outstanding showing at the Texoma NATS Conference. Boomer Sooner!
