OUR CHOIR
The MIT Gospel Choir is a non-audition Christian Gospel music singing group located at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, M.A. Founded over 40 years ago, we are dedicated to spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ through song. For many years now, the MIT Gospel Choir has been and continues to be a diverse group, in age, ethnicity, and background. Our members are typically undergraduate or graduate students at MIT.
The MIT Gospel Choir (aka GosCho) sings Contemporary Gospel music from Gospel artists such as Tye Tribbet, Kurt Carr, Hezekiah Walker, Kirk Franklin, Fred Hammond, and Richard Smallwood. We also sing spirituals, hymns and Christian-themed multi-cultural songs.
We host an on-campus concert at the end of each semester. Additionally, we may have a few additional performances as local churches or at MIT sponsored events.
We rehearse every week on Saturday afternoons for two hours. Currently, rehearsals are from 3:00pm-5:00pm and typically take place in room 4-364. Additionally, before performances, we may schedule an extra rehearsal as needed. Please check our rehearsal schedule page to view up-to-date information about upcoming rehearsals
We are supported by the Undergraduate Association at MIT for Student Groups. We also receive support through the Office of Minority Education.
OUR MEMBERS
The choir currently has about 12 members spread across all vocal parts.
New members typically join the choir near the beginning of each semester, but late-comers are always welcome at anytime during the semester.
The MIT Gospel Choir is a non-audition group. We have some members with lots of prior singing experience and some with very little prior singing experience. So, don't worry about your singing ability and just come join us!
