The St. Olaf Choir, with 75 mixed voices, is the pioneer a cappella choir in the United States. For more than three-quarters of a century, the choir has set a standard of choral excellence and remained at the forefront of choral artistry. Directed since 1990 by Anton Armstrong, the St. Olaf Choir continues to develop the tradition that originated with its founder, F. Melius Christiansen.
The choir continues to be a vital artistic force with both an exciting calendar of events and a growing library of recordings. The purpose of the St. Olaf Choir is to provide music of the highest quality which lifts people's hearts and spirits, incorporating a diversity of cultural voices and sounds into the chorus of the Christian faith.

About the choir and its mission:
A 2007 performance of "Water Night" by Eric Whitacre at the Strathmore Center in Washington, D.C:
"So often we create art for self-gain. While art does not need to be functional to have value and worth, it has greater value and worth when it transforms the listener and can be a catalyst for change" -Anton Armstrong, Conductor{}
