The MSU Chorale is devoted to the artistic and inspirational performance of distinguished choral literature. The ensemble is selected by audition from Montana State's enrollment of 13,000 students. Chorale's annual performance itinerary includes two formal concerts each semester. Special events for the Chorale include the annual Madrigal Dinner and regional tours.

Chorale members look forward to a European tour every three years. Recent tours have taken the ensemble to China, the Philippines and several European countries including France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy. A June 2006 tour included major venues in Berlin, Leipzig, Prague, Vienna and Budapest.

Part of Chorale's mission is to represent Montana State University in concerts throughout Montana and the region. As part of their commitment to this mission in 2006, Chorale performed at the American Choral Directors Association's Northwest Division Convention.
