We are excited to welcome two outstanding high school choral programs to campus for the inaugural University of Oklahoma High School Choral Invitational!

Singers from Mustang High School (Mustang, OK) and Bentonville High School (Bentonville, AR) will spend the day engaging with the OU music community before joining our University Chorale for an evening concert. Each choir will present its own set, and all three ensembles will come together for a collaborative performance.

Join us for the concert! These two high school choirs are phenomenal, and you won't want to miss hearing them!

Admission is free and open to the public.
