Style
The Notre Dame Folk choir began singing in the late 1970s, during a time of great changes in the liturgy. With the advent of the 1980s, the choir moved far beyond the conventional definition of a "folk group." There are now more than four dozen men's and women's voices, flute, organ, violins, guitar, string bass, Celtic harp, cello, and bodhran (Irish drum).
About the Choir
Primarily an undergraduate organization, the choir serves the University as one of its principal liturgical choirs. However, an increasing number of graduate students, faculty, and professional staff from the University have joined in recent years.
The camaraderie between students and professionals within the academic community is one of the things that make this group unique at Notre Dame.
Did You Know?
In August 1993, the Folk Choir was one of a handful of American choirs invited to sing for World Youth Day in Denver, Colorado, and for His Holiness John Paul II at the concluding Papal Liturgy.
