One of the best ways to experience Heinz Chapel is at a concert. This evening you'll hear the talents of the Heinz Chapel Choir under the direction of Dr. Susan Rice and Jon Tyillian on the Chapel's Reuter Organ featuring 4,272 pipes.

_{The Heinz Chapel Choir was founded in 1938 to coincide with the dedication of the Heinz Memorial Chapel, a gift to the University of Pittsburgh from Henry John Heinz, founder of the H.J. Heinz Company, and his children. For 85 years, the Heinz Chapel Choir has presented music from a variety of time periods and cultural traditions and in a wealth of languages. The Choir is currently under the direction of its tenth conductor, Dr. Susan Rice, who has served as a Teaching Professor in the Department of Music at the University of Pittsburgh since 2014, teaching the aural skills/sight-singing course sequence. Rice has served the university as the Associate Director of Undergraduate Studies for the Department of Music since 2017.}
