The Millikin University Choir is the premier choral ensemble of Millikin University, a distinguished liberal arts university in Decatur, Illinois, renowned for its School of Music. As a flagship ensemble within the choral program, the choir is composed of approximately 45-50 select students across various academic disciplines, embodying the university's commitment to the fine arts. Under the guidance of Dr. Bradley Holmes, who has served as its esteemed conductor for many years, the choir has cultivated a reputation for choral excellence, versatility, and a rich, expressive sound that has resonated both nationally and internationally.

Celebrated for its dynamic performances and demanding repertory, the Millikin University Choir sustains its tradition of musical innovation and educational excellence. Their album "Exsultate!" showcases the ensemble's prowess in a variety of complex choral works, while "How Sweet the Sound" captures the choir's ability to navigate the depths of American spirituals with sensitivity and passion. Their recent release, "Hearts All Whole," is a testament to the choir's mastery of both classical and contemporary choral music, offering listeners a compelling mix of compositions and arrangements that continually expand the idea of what a university choir can accomplish. Through each of these recordings, as well as their performances both at home and on tour, the Millikin University Choir continues to inspire audiences and affirm the transformative power of choral music.
