The Antioch Chorus | The Alumni Choir of Antioch College
Specializing in the fifteenth century music of Ockeghem, Dufay and Dunstable

John Richard Ronsheim, Founder

The Antioch Chorus toured Europe in 1973 and 1975. This university choir of about 50 singers made high-quality recordings while on tour in France and Italy. For some of these compositions, it was the first-ever recording. After a reunion and concert in 1996, a CD was produced from the original tapes of each tour.
