A tradition of choral excellence has long been a part of Millikin's history. With more than 300 singers, the choral program now includes five traditional choirs led by a nationally recognized staff of
conductors. Music majors and non-majors alike count their choral experience as among the most profound during their college years. In addition to their own performance schedule choirs have opportunities to perform together for large-scale choral/orchestral works in the spring. All participate together for
Vespers, the largest single event on Millikin's campus drawing 7,000 people annually.
Recordings of the choirs may be purchased through
First Step Records, Millikins' student led label.
