The internationally acclaimed Wartburg Choir performs sacred music from all historical periods and styles and often features premiere works of contemporary composers, including Morten Lauridsen, Ola Gjeilo, René Clausen, Stacey V. Gibbs, Stanford Scriven, and Connor Koppin '13. Choir members are chosen by audition and represent most academic disciplines on campus. The choir makes annual concert tours throughout the United State and travels abroad every three years during the colleges one-month May Term. For more than 75 years the choir has toured domestically and internationally visiting 38 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, 21 European countries, Scandinavia, South Africa, and three Canadian provinces. The Wartburg Choir is the college's select a cappella choir, one of five choirs offered through the music department.

In January 2014 the Wartburg Choir worked with composer Morten Lauridsen who lauded their performance of his O Magnum Mysterium as being "in the top echelon of any performance of that piece by any choir that I have ever heard."
