Nearly 900 vocalists from across the state will descend on St. Olaf Tuesday, Nov. 4 as part of the 106th annual Choral Festival. The daylong event wraps up with a concert at 4 p.m. that afternoon in Skoglund Center. The concert is free and open to the public.

The Choral Festival performance features three solo choirs (Armstrong High School Concert Choir, Westwood Lutheran Church A Capella Choir, and the Honors Choirs of Southeast Minnesota Concert Choir) selected to perform works on their own, as well as the St. Olaf Choir and Viking Chorus. In addition, 30 other choirs will attend the event. These additional choirs will join the three solo choirs and all of the St. Olaf choirs to create a mass choir made up of 1,300 members that will also perform during the concert.
