The Singing Men of Ohio (SMO) is an ensemble of undergraduate and graduate students from across the University who sing tenor-bass choral repertoire. Established as both a performing ensemble within the School of Music as well as a student organization that sponsors service projects, social activities, and makes numerous community appearances at university and alumni functions, The SMO enjoy a unique blend of professional training in music with opportunities for creative expression in the spirit of fraternity.

Guided by its motto, Unitas per Harmonium (unity through harmony), The SMO has toured the Mid-west, East Coast, Florida, Wyoming, and China advancing its mission of bringing men's choral singing and its rich traditions to an ever-widening audience. SMO performances are recognized for their diverse programming including spirituals, motets, French chansons, German and American part songs and folk songs, musical theater, barbershop melodies, and their own peculiar brand of high jinks. In addition, the chorus is known for its sonorous tone, attention to detail, and has been invited to perform in Columbus at the Ohio Music Education Association professional conference.

The Singing Men of Ohio Alumni Advisory board is a 501(c)3 organization that exists to honor the legacy of the Singing Men of Ohio by fostering a thriving network of alumni, providing resources to support the current group, and promoting both professional and musical development within our community. Rooted in a deep commitment to preserving the traditions and values of the organization, the Board also serves as a consultative body, offering guidance and support to the current group as they chart their course into the future. These bylaws define the governance structure and principles that sustain our shared mission and vision.
