The history of this group goes back to 1879 when a group of choir members from four of Ann Arbor's churches decided to unite to, sing choruses from Handel's "Messiah." They planned musical evenings in association with the women's societies of the churches and presented three concerts.: Membership was later extended outside of the realm of the churches and their repertoire was increased by other choral num- bers. This organization became known as the Choral Union. Frequent 'Messiah' Performances Since its formation, the Univer- sity Choral Union has performed operas in concert form and many choral works. During the .first 20 or 25 years the chorus gave fre- quent performances of the "Mes- siah" in part and in its entirety. This oratorio has been heard in annual" performances in Hill,- Auditorium and for the past.13 years the annual performance has been given in two concerts in De- cember. Lester McCoy trains the Choral Union for its performanees which consist of the "Messiah" concerts. and the annual -appearances at the May Festival with 'the Phila- delphia'Orchestra. Thor Johnson conducts the two concerts in which the chorus appears. Auditions for the chorus are held in September and are open to all University personnel and residents of Ann Arbor.' The Choral Union is an activity of the University Musical Society. The society has also sponsored a Choral Union Series which has grown during the past 80 years until now 26 concerts are present- ed during the year in Ann Arbor.
