Choral Ensemble Information UT School of Music Choral Ensembles Singing in one of UT's choral ensembles has been one of the largest student participating activities on campus for over 40 years. Thousands of UT students have shared the experiences of preparing and presenting concerts to audiences of all kinds and sizes, and from these experiences they take away valuable musical memories and friendships. We would like to share some of these experiences with you while you attend The University of Texas at Austin. The School of Music is delighted that Dr. Craig Hella Johnson will be returning as Director of Choral Activities after serving a year as Artistic Director with the well known professional vocal ensemble, Chanticleer.
Some exciting changes are underway.
Dr. Johnson will again be conducting the Chamber Singers but will be increasing its membership slightly in order to present a more varied repertoire which will greater reflect the breadth and immense diversity of choral literature. Dr. Pence will be conducting the Concert Chorale which will continue in its tradition of excellence. For both of these ensembles, new names have been proposed which reflect these exciting changes. Conductor The Chamber Singers are the premiere choral ensemble of The University of Texas and will contain a highly selective membership of approximately 40-55 singers. Repertoire will be of the highest standard and will encompass all eras and genres.
