The Hendricks Chapel Choir is a select, voice-mixed choir of about 40 students that provides music for the Sunday morning interdenominational Protestant service at SU, as well as various campus events. The choir presents annual holiday and spring concerts, and has toured in Argentina, Chile, China, the Czech Republic, Poland and Uruguay.
The SUBE, housed in SU’s College of Arts and Sciences, is composed of members of the SU faculty and staff, the SUNY Upstate Medical University faculty and staff, and accomplished musicians from surrounding communities. The 35-member SUBE presents about 18 performances a year. The ensemble’s repertoire includes music from all major musical periods and often features new compositions commissioned by nationally known composers.
The Hendricks Chapel Handbell Ringers is a group of students, faculty and staff from the Syracuse University community. The ensemble rings five octaves of Schulmerich handbells and four octaves of Schulmerich MelodyChimes. The Handbell Ringers perform at Protestant worship services in the chapel throughout the academic year, as well as at other churches and venues throughout Central New York.
