From its rich beginnings in the early 70’s as the Pamoja Singers, the University of Georgia African American Choral Ensemble (AACE) has endeavored to keep concert halls and churches filled with the powerful sounds and wealth of indigenous musical treasures birthed from the African American experience. Since its earliest days at UGA, AACE has been a beacon tower of fellowship and friendship for the university community. Herein, people of many cultures come to share and learn the messages of hope, love and liberation that have sustained a people and this nation. 

Membership in AACE is determined via an informal placement audition held during the first two class sessions of each semester. The entire University community is invited to participate in this organization. There are two major performances annually near the end of each semester. Other performance opportunities are by invitation.

UGA’s oldest musical organization, The UGA Glee Club (formerly Men's Glee Club) is home to undergraduate music majors/minors as well as students from throughout the university enrolled in all majors.  The ensemble performs a wide variety of musical styles ­­­- from classical TTBB repertoire to pop music - and performs in up to three public concerts each semester, often in collaboration with the Georgia Treble Choir, University Chorus and other school of music ensembles.  

The UGA Glee Club is open to singers of all levels of experience, from beginning to advanced, and welcomes new members at the beginning of each semester.  Non-majors are welcome to join without a audition, music majors and minors please click here.

The Georgia Treble Choir (formerly Women's Glee Club)  is one of UGA’s largest choral ensembles. The ensemble consists of undergraduate music majors/minors as well as students from throughout the university enrolled in all majors. The Georgia Treble Choir performs a wide variety of SSAA repertoire ranging in style and era. The choir often performs in collaboration with the UGA Glee Club, University Chorus, and other school of music ensembles, and presents up to three public concerts each semester.

The Repertory Singers is a mixed chamber choir directed by graduate student conductors. Its format offers laboratory rehearsal and performance experience for conductors and singers alike. The ensemble is designed to appeal to students who wish to be part of an ongoing conducting masterclass environment. It should also appeal to those wanting to build knowledge and skill in the areas of sight-reading, conducting gesture, rehearsal techniques, and choral repertoire. 

Repertory Singers typically performs six programs of varied repertoire throughout the school year, spending 5-6 weeks on each program. Programs may be conducted by a single graduate student, or shared between the graduates. The choir often collaborates with chamber orchestras composed of UGA instrumentalists.
