Background: |
The University Singers have
a long and distinguished reputation as one of the finest collegiate
vocal ensembles in the United States. The Singers have performed
for numerous national choral conventions including the American
Choral Director’s Association, the Music Teachers National
Association and the Music Educators National Conference. They
have toured extensively throughout the world, and in 1987,
represented the United States at the first symposium of the
International Federation for Choral Music in Vienna. The Singers
have also made appearances with the Los Angeles Philharmonic
Orchestra under the direction of Zubin Mehta and Carlo Maria
Giulini, the Pacific Symphony Orchestra under the baton of
Carl St.Clair, the Long Beach Symphony under the direction
of Joann Falletta, and the Boston Pops Orchestra under the
baton of Keith Lockhart.
The Chamber Choir is comprised of 31 upper
class members, selected by audition process. In recent years,
the ensemble has become nationally recognized as a premier
collegiate vocal ensemble performing for numerous choral conventions
including the Pacific Southwest Intercollegiate Association
and the American Choral Directors Association (ACDA). The
group has joined with the University Singers performing with
the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra and the Pacific Symphony Orchestra
among others. In February 2003, the choir was selected as
one of 42 choral ensembles to perform at the ACDA National
Convention held in New York presenting concerts at Riverside
Church, Carnegie Hall and Avery Fischer Hall. The ensemble
has toured extensively, most recently to Italy and Spain. |
