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. Concert Choir was selected to perform at the 2018 Nebraska Music Educators Association State Conference.  Most recently, in the Fall of 2025, members of Concert Choir performed in Mexico City at the famed Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
