The mission of the Malone University Chorale echoes the words of J.S. Bach: "The aim and final reason for all music should be nothing else but the glory of God and the refreshment of the spirit." Through intense rehearsal and performance, the Chorale is motivated to prepare well and strive for excellence with a desire to make music that is an offering to the Lord. The Chorale functions in a way that seeks to represent the body of Christ. Its members strive to be Christ-like, serving and encouraging each other and those they meet. 

The Malone University Chorale is a mixed chorus dedicated to the performance of sacred choral music reflecting diverse composers and cultures. Under the direction of Russell Gartner, they are known throughout the United States and Europe for their high level of musical excellence. Members representing many paths of study are selected by audition each academic year.

The Chorale has performed domestically and internationally with destinations in Canada, Europe, Asia, and Latin America. Performance highlights include collaboration with the Canton Symphony Orchestra (Mahler's Second Symphony and Brahms' Ein deutsches Requiem), the Tuscarawas Philharmonic Symphony, and the beloved Christmas at Malone tradition. The Chorale was also the featured choral ensemble at the 2015 national conference of the Christian Fellowship of Art Music Composers.
