Chamber Singers is a premier chamber choir at the University. The repertoire of the 14-voiced ensemble is selected from a wide range of choral literature from medieval chant to commissioned twenty-first century choral works. Membership is open to undergraduate and graduate students. The goal of the ensemble is to provide artistic, meaningful, and successful choral performances. To achieve this goal, the learning objectives for individual students include attention toward individual vocal development, increased musicianship skill, and the discovery of new means of artistic expression. In addition to these individual objectives, the conductor of the ensemble also teaches directly toward the objectives of ensemble tone, blend, balance, intonation, dynamics, diction, phrasing, etc, Grades are determined by a combination of vocal and musicianship assessments (both written and aural) and attendance at rehearsals and performances.
