WELCOME
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the website for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln choral area. This site features a small sample of the tremendous growth we’ve experienced in Lincoln over the past few years. With the advent of our doctoral program, we now boast a comprehensive – if not the most comprehensive – collegiate choral program in the US. Our outstanding alumni and their accomplishments additionally demonstrate the breadth, depth, and scope of our choir program.
Located in the very center of the United States,
in one of America’s finest, cleanest, safest, and most livable
cities (and recently named the top "college-town in America," the University’s proximity (and aligned with local
and regional offering and opportunities) makes our accessibility
a true asset and advantage. Our competitive tuition and additional
stipends makes Lincoln especially attractive.
When comparing college experiences, it is clearly possible
to pay less to attend another college and get less. It is
also possible to pay a great deal more still obtain less.
If a student can pay less than one might invest to attend
the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and gain more, I always
advise a student to pursue that path. Confidently, I always
encourage potential students to compare. I always know we
will “stack-up” most favorably when considering
all factors. That is what I love about this place. My former
college mentor took me out for dinner one night, and when
he was encouraging me to submit my application for this choral
vacancy, he said that he had two degrees from UNL (bachelors
and masters degrees) and that he “loved it there!”
That sold me then…the city, the university, and our
students have continued to inspire me daily ever since.
If this is your first visit to this site,
then you are simply scratching the surface. I invite you to
continue to explore the performance and academic offerings.
Additionally, we invite you to attend one of the live performances,
explore choral singing opportunities, and/or enroll in choral
academic experiences.
Thanks for giving us a look and a listen.
With admiration and respect,
Peter A. Eklund, DMA
Professor and Director of Choral Activities
