Unionaires

A rigorously-auditioned select choir, the Unionaires has been a Union College tradition for more than 50 years. Auditions take place the first two weeks of the school year and are comprehensive in scope. There are tours and trips each semester with a vespers concert at the end of each semester.  The Unionaires have traveled to each coast and have made extensive tours in the Midwest area.

Union College Singers

Since its inception in 1995, the Union College Octet has had the top singers on the Union campus who are interested and dedicated to serious music-making and singing. In 2007, this group became "The Twelve" after adding a member to each section. In 2015, the group expanded and became the Union College Singers. Now the Union College Singers includes 20-32 students, depending on the semester and event.  Members are selected from the Unionaires personnel for their talent, interest, dedication and interpersonal skills. They must represent all that Union College stands for in Christian standards and in musical excellence.
