UNCW Concert Choir and Chamber Singers are academic courses in the Department of Music and provide students from all disciplines of the university with an opportunity for active participation in the performance of great music of all styles. The students perform on campus, in the community, and on tour. A hybrid group, called the Chamber Choir, represents the program in annual performances at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City and on biennial tours to Europe. One of these tours is planned for May 2009.
DR. JOE HICKMAN is director of the UNCW Concert Choir and Chamber Singers, ensembles which have toured extensively both in the United States and in Western Europe. Dr. Hickman also writes choral reviews and articles for the Choral Journal and has a number of scholarly performing editions published with Masterworks Press of Olympia, Washington. Most recently, his collections of 4-part motets of Palestrina and 4-part consort songs by John Dowland were published in the Masterworks Press choral sight reading series. He is professor of music at UNCW and received his B.M. from West Virginia University and his M.M./D.M. from Indiana University.
