Concert Choir

Directed by Dr. Richard A. Carrillo

The UNO Concert Choir is an auditioned ensemble of students from all majors across the University of Nebraska at Omaha. In addition to campus and local performances, the Concert Choir has performed in Lithuania, Sweden, Germany, the Czech Republic, Romania, Moldova, Russia, Holland, Brussels and Finland. The Concert Choir returned to Lithuania in the Spring of 2018. During this trip, they performed at several cultural centers, schools, and historical sites throughout Lithuania and the choir appeared on the national Lithuanian morning show Labas Rytas, Lietuva. The Concert Choir was selected to perform at the 2018 Nebraska Music Educators Association State Conference. 

The UNO Concert Choir competed in the 2021 Rovdo International Choral Competition in Minsk, Belarus. The event, which was held virtually due to COVID, brought together 68 choirs from seven different countries. The event had 1860 singers in seventy-seven performances in eight various categories. The UNO Concert Choir earned a third-place finish in the performance category, a Laureate Diploma I for high scores, and a Special Diploma for the best artistic performance according to the COVID measures of the country.
