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.
