Lynchburg SingersThe Lynchburg Singers is a highly selective vocal chamber ensemble and is comprised of sixteen to twenty singers. It includes both music and non-music majors at Lynchburg College plus several singers from the community. Membership is by audition only for those who meet the demands of voice, sight reading, overall musicianship, and commitment. Members are expected to have some formal voice training. This choir performs vocal chamber music of every musical period, but devotes its energies to performance of twentieth-century choral works with a vision to promote understanding among peoples of different cultures. Membership in Chamber Singers also requires membership in the Concert Choir. The choir tours frequently throughout the region, East Coast, and abroad. No academic credit is offered for this activity. Rehearsals are held on Wednesdays, 4 - 6 p.m. |
