NMSU Choir Tickets

The NMSU Choir is the vocal backbone of New Mexico State University’s choral program, featuring two ensembles: the Concert Choir (SATB) and the Masterworks Chorus (SATB). Directed by Dr. Alex Gerleman, Assistant Professor of Music and Director of Choral Studies at NMSU, the group trains both NMSU students and community singers in a wide repertoire spanning classical to contemporary works. The ensembles present two concerts per semester, with additional performances throughout the year, inviting audiences to experience rich choral storytelling in Las Cruces and beyond.

Under the leadership of Dr. Gerleman—who earned a DMA in Choral Conducting from Michigan State University—the NMSU Choir combines rigorous artistry with accessible, engaging programming. The program emphasizes collaborative performance, musical excellence, and community involvement, making it a staple of the university’s cultural calendar.
