Camerata Singers was established in 1984 as an outgrowth of a larger mixed choir. The Italian meaning of Camerata is company – a small group that meets for artistic reasons. As a chamber choir, it performs in a variety of settings: at the university, in area churches, and on tour. Camerata Singers maintains an active schedule of more than 25 annual performances. The ensemble frequently performs at functions hosted by the university president and serves as ambassadors for the institution. The group has enjoyed a long tradition of excellent choral singing.
Camerata Singers tours each year to various parts of the United States. About every three or four years it takes an international trip in addition to the domestic tour. View our current Tour Schedule.
The literature performed by the choir includes primarily sacred classical music from various historical periods and the present, spirituals, and folk hymns. Camerata Singers is open to all students on an audition basis and rehearses four times weekly. Auditions are held each fall at the beginning of classes.
Students may sign up either for credit or zero credit. The zero credit option exists for students who are carrying a full load but wish to continue their participation in the choir.
