Mission
Music 463, Black Chorus, is an academic offering within the School of Music; a registered student leadership organization; and partner with the Bruce D. Nesbitt African American Cultural Center for collaborative initiatives. Black Chorus is an embodied performance experience and the opportunity for stimulating scholarship of the music of Black Americans as art, aesthetic, and activism. With repertoire ranging from African chant, Negro spirituals, improvised hymns, formal anthems, and traditional and contemporary gospel, to blues, jazz, rhythm and blues, soul, and hip hop, Black Chorus has sustained a continual presence on the cultural landscape at Illinois with performances on campus at signature events, nationally for tours and festivals, and internationally at conferences and residences since its founding in 1968.
