University Concert Choir

The 65-voice University Concert Choir is the largest choral ensemble in the music department. Membership is open to the entire university community without audition, although previous singing experience is desirable. The chorus performs a diverse repertoire from classical to gospel in several concerts a year. The highlight of the fall semester is the holiday concert, which draws a large audience from the campus as well as the entire Clarksville community. The University Concert Choir also periodically performs major classical choral works with orchestra. Choir meets MWF 10-10:50 a.m. in MMC 147 for one hour credit. Students interested in joining the University Choir should contact Dr. Karen Kenaston-French, director of choral activities:

The 28-voice Chamber Singers is the premier choral ensemble of the university. Repertoire ranges from Renaissance motets to classical masterworks and highly challenging contemporary literature. In addition to annual holiday and spring concerts, the Chamber Singers regularly represent the music department on concert tours, at university functions, and serve as a lab choir for graduate conducting students. The Chamber Singers are recognized as one of the most distinguished choral groups in the southeast, and have been selected to perform for regional and national conventions of the American Choral Directors Association and the Music Educators National Conference.
