The history of the Ithaca College Choral Program spans the history of the college itself. It formed in the late 1890s, briefly associating with the Westminster Choir College in the 1920s and 30s, and finally experienced continuous growth during the tenures of Lawrence Doebler and Janet Galvan. This present study will document the history of the Ithaca College Choral Program focusing on (1) the early choirs and the development of the choral department, (2) the directors of the choirs, (3) the origin and history of the Choral Composition Festival and Choir tour, (4) the repertoire of the choirs, (5) and the program under the tenures of Lawrence Doebler and Janet Galvan.
