This organization is the body representing the students that comprise the Hartt Choirs. The purpose of the Hartt Choirs Students Association is to establish equity, inclusion, and democracy within the choral program. The association promotes the opportunity for all students on the University of Hartford campus to join the Choirs whether they’re music majors or not.

Why you should join this organization?

We believe that all people have the right to make meaningful music at a high caliber, regardless of their career path. We will promote democracy in choral organizations on campus by being a body to represent the students, where we then can interact with faculty with more power. We aim to improve the musicianship of all singers through choral repertoire, to collaborate with other music-making organizations on campus, locally, and regionally, and to establish a professional presence in Connecticut.
