THE CITADEL CADET CHORALE

Founded in 1976, the Citadel Cadet Chorale is the Citadel’s
official touring choir.  Members are selected by competitive audition.

To commemorate the bicentennial that same year, a select group of singers formed the "Original Thirteen" to represent the original thirteen colonies.
Both of these groups perform music of all types, including patriotic, sacred, popular, and classical music, as well as novelty and show tunes.

They have performed for audiences all over the East Coast including
the former Charlotte Hornets, The Detroit Tigers, The Miss USA Pageant, ABC’s Good Morning America, former president Ronald Reagan,
General Norman Schwarzkopf, General Colin Powell and former
Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev.

The Cadet Chorale is directed by Mrs. Nancy Lefter,
Director of Choral Activities at the Citadel, and is accompanied by
Col. Mark Bebensee, Associate Provost for Academic Affairs.
