We had organized a year of meetings, celebrations, seeing each other, sharing hugs, music and songs.
Most of those wishes cannot be fulfilled, for the moment.
Still, we want to share with you something very valuable to us.
Today, we want to give you Diamante, a song that, in many ways, represents us.
"They gave me a diamond
And I don't know what to do with so much light
I open my hand for a moment
And it shines up to the sky cleaning the blue ”
And here we are.
Giving away and giving us a Diamond.
Our dreams are still intact.

Thompson. The 40-80 member A Cappella Choir offers freshman and sophomore singers the opportunity to perform works for larger Choirs and to fine-tune the art of choral singing through exposure to music from the Renaissance through the 21st century.
In daily rehearsals, Choir members hone musicianship skills such as rhythm, sight-reading and the understanding of complex scores. They develop an understanding of the intricacies of vocal production, including pitch and how to blend individual voices together into a unified, beautiful sound. Finally, members learn how to sing in an ensemble and to successfully meld as a team.
The Choir frequently performs with other School of Music ensembles, including the Utah Philharmonia orchestra, the Wind Ensemble, the Chamber Choir and Women’s Chorus. A Cappella Choir members leave with the solid choral music foundation that has distinguished the University of Utah thr... less
