JOIN COMMITTEE

In 2026, the Choir of the West will celebrate our rich tradition—100 years of outstanding choral music! Join conductors Brian Galante, Richard Nance, and Richard Sparks for social gatherings, shared singing, a celebratory banquet, and a chance to perform together again in the Centennial Celebration Concert.

Events will begin on Friday, October 23 at 6pm, and conclude by 4pm on Sunday, October 25. Save the date to ensure you’re able to reconnect with fellow alumni and celebrate a program that has anchored PLU as a premiere music program in the Northwest. We hope you can join us!

Discounted lodging options for PLU alumni & guests.

Choir of the West Oral History Project

The PLU Archives invites you to participate in our 100 Years of Choir of the West Oral History Project. How do you remember your time with the choir? What stands out to you about your performances, and what have you carried with you from that time? From the songs you sang to the tours you took, we want to hear about the Choir of the West from your perspective.

Come as an individual, couple, or small group to share your insights for the benefit of future generations of Lutes. All oral histories will be recorded and made available though the PLU Archives. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to the University Archivist, Lauren Loftis, at archives@plu.edu.
