The University of Indiana has a lot to celebrate this week! In addition to the Lady Eagles bringing home a National Championship, the Chamber Choir won internationally. 

Under the direction of Daniel Craig, the USI Chamber Choir competed against 38 other choirs in the Mayo International Choral Festival Premiere Competition in Ireland.

As part of its 2018 Ireland concert tour, the University of Southern Indiana Chamber Choir received first place in the Mayo International Choral Festival Premiere Competition in Ballina, Ballintubber and Castlebar, Co. Mayo, Ireland.

The choir, under the direction of Daniel Craig, associate professor of music, competed in the festival’s Sacred Music and Four-Part Choirs competition. They placed runner-up in the Sacred Music competition and won First Place in the Four-Part Competition. This win qualified the ensemble to compete in the premier competition where they won first place overall out of the 38 choirs participating. Judges for the competition included choir directors for the BBC, National Chamber Choir of Ireland, World Music Games and universities in Ireland and Norway.
