About the Ensemble
The University of North Texas A Cappella Choir is led by Dr. Jerry McCoy, director of choral studies. The 46-voice choir, selected by competitive auditions from the more than 1,700 music majors within the College of Music, is the premier ensemble in the UNT choral program comprised of seven choirs and a Collegium Musicum. Founded in 1938 by Wilfred Bain, the choir has enjoyed a rich performance history including a three-month tour of Europe under the sponsorship of the US Department of State in 1966. The choir was featured on the closing concert of the 2005 ACDA national convention in Los Angeles and on the 1999 national convention in Chicago, as well as on the program of the 9th Annual Taipei International Choral Festival in 2009, and the national convention of NCCO held in Cincinnati in 2008. The choir has made numerous appearances for TMEA and the ACDA Southwestern Division.
