concert choir

Formal vocal group

A concert choir is a vocal ensemble that performs choral music in formal settings, typically distinguished from church choirs or school chorus groups by its focus on artistic repertoire and public performance.

The term often implies a selective or auditioned group: She joined the university's concert choir after two rounds of tryouts.
