LEXINGTON, KY — UK isn’t just home to a winning basketball team, but also a nationally respected choir.
In recent years the UK Men’s Chorus has found its place on the map in the choral world. Director Jeff Johnson holds his team to the highest standard.
“The UK men’s basketball team is at the top of their field just as the UK Men’s Chorus is at the top of ours,” Johnson said. “Despite our talent, if we don’t give 100 percent every day we are going to lose. The musical standard against which we compete is that high.”
The choir isn’t just 80-or-so men standing and singing an overdone song. Picture it like Fox’s hit show “Glee,” without the high school drama, high school courtyard choreography and high school girls.
