The Chapel Singers have performed at the National Collegiate Choral Organization National convention in Portland, Oregon, the California All-State Music Education Conference in San Jose, California, and with The WHO on their Quadrophenia tour.

Bel Canto is a select women's choir at the University of Redlands. Established in 2012, the choir consists of women from all academic disciplines, from freshmen to graduate students. The repertoire performed by Bel Canto is diverse, ranging from early music to new compositions, and with an emphasis on singing in multiple languages and musical styles. In its short history, the choir has premiered several new pieces for women's choir and has performed longer works accompanied by various instrumental collaborations. The choir has performed in Carnegie Hall, and has been invited to perform at the 2016 ACDA Western Division Conference in Pasadena, CA.
