Women’s Choir

Select Page

The College of Saint Benedict Women’s Choir is the select soprano-alto touring ensemble of the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University. In addition to several performances each year on campus, the Women’s Choir tours regionally. Each spring, the choir collaborates with other collegiate women’s ensembles in a concert to raise awareness of domestic violence and serve as a good-will fundraiser for area shelters. The Women’s Choir is led by Susan Zemlin. Students may enroll in Women’s Choir by registering for MUSC 235 for 0 or 1 credit.
