THE FURMAN UNIVERSITY CHAMBER CHOIR is made up of some of Furman’s most outstanding singing musicians. A vital part of a choral program well known for its excellence, the Choir is committed to the thorough preparation and insightful performance of a wide variety of ancient, traditional and contemporary choral music. Chosen by careful audition and rewarded with a scholarship, each singer brings to the ensemble a sense of dedication, purpose and care. Though all are capable of dramatic solo singing, the singers’ commitment to unity and beauty of ensemble tone creates a remarkable range and quality of sound. In addition to the annual presentations of Lessons and Carols, the choir regularly performs a wide range of sacred music in churches throughout the region.
