Black Hills Symphony Orchestra
Sharing the passion of singing, Dakota Choral Union enlightens, enriches, and entertains our Black Hills community through the performance of significant choral works. DCU provides the opportunity for individuals to develop within a supportive family of non-auditioned singers. We strive to bridge boundaries and touch lives through our music.
Dakota Choral Union was formed after a joint concert between the Black Hills Chorale, Black Hills Voices in Concert, and the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology Concert Choir in the spring of 1995. SDSM&T started DCU as a class on campus, led by founding director Dr. James D. Feiszli. The combined chorus, with its auditioned choral ensemble Kantorei, officially incorporated as Dakota Choral Union and has continued to share its gifts with the community under the leadership of Artistic Directors Dr. S
Kantorei is DCU’s auditioned small ensemble group specializing in a cappella choral music. Kantorei consists of complementary, blended voices and performs a set of pieces within DCU concerts and on occasion individual concerts.
