ABOUT THE UNCW CHOIRS
The Concert Choir and Chamber Singers exist as independent groups, although the groups sometimes appear together and sometimes join forces for performance of large choral works. Some members of the Concert Choir come from the Department of Music, but others from virtually every part of the university community and community at large.
The Chamber Singers is a select group, chosen by audition, and typically performing works appropriate for a smaller chorus. The Chamber Choir does extensive touring, including a biennial European tour as well as annual participation in a festival choir at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York for St. Francis Day.
