About
The concert choir of Calvin College, the Capella is composed of advanced singers from all areas of study. The choir gives a major concert each semester in addition to annual tours and participation in area church services. The Capella was founded by Seymour Swets in 1935 and later conducted by Howard Slenk and Merle Mustert. Dr. Joel Navarro was appointed as the choir's fourth conductor in 2002. The Capella toured Europe in May 2008 and earned a pair of third-place medals in an international vocal competition.
Capella rehearses on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 3:30-4:30 p.m.
