The Ministers to the University conduct these services with the assistance of the Chapel Music Director, Dr. Rodney Wynkoop, and the Chapel Organists, Dr. Robert Parkins and Dr. David Arcus. The 150-voice Chapel Choir is open for membership to the entire community by audition at the beginning of each semester, and many graduate and professional students are members. Each fall during the first weekend in December, the choir presents three performances of Handel’s Messiah in its entirety. A spring concert is also given.
