UCF Choral Showcase: Knights Chorale (formerly Chamber Choir), SoAl, TeBa, and the premiere of new ensembles Cantilena and Coro Profundo

Join us for a landmark evening as UCF’s choral department presents a magnificent display of vocal artistry. This performance marks a significant moment in our history, highlighting the debut of our newest vocal groups.

From the time-honored excellence of Dr. Miller’s ensembles to the contemporary brilliance of the Knights Chorale, this concert is a comprehensive celebration of the human voice in all its forms.

The Foundation of Excellence: SoAl and TeBa
The program proudly highlights the SoAl (Soprano-Alto) and TeBa (Tenor-Bass) choirs under the distinguished leadership of Dr. Kelly Miller. As the long-standing pillars of the UCF choral department, these ensembles bring their trademark precision, passion, and storied tradition to the stage with a curated selection of masterful choral works.

A Modern Masterpiece: Knights Chorale
The Knights Chorale (formerly known as the Chamber Choir) will perform the evening’s centerpiece: Elaine Hagenberg’s stunning work, Illuminare. Using Greek, Latin, and English texts, Illuminare guides the audience through a transformative journey from darkness into light—a powerful, transcendent piece known for its lush harmonies and soaring emotional depth.

New Horizons: The Premiere of Cantilena and Coro Profundo
Under the direction of Dr. Jeffrey Redding, we invite you to witness the debut of two brand new ensembles that represent the growth and future of our program:

• Cantilena: The premiere of our vibrant new Soprano-Alto choir.
• Coro Profundo: The premiere of our powerful and resonant Tenor-Bass ensemble.
