Choral Ensembles

University Singers

Director: Dr. Marcel Ramalho

University Singers is the primary choral ensemble in the Department of Music and for Augusta University, and it is comprised of traditional and non-traditional students who love choral singing. Students in all disciplines of study are welcome to register.  Community members are welcomed and encouraged to participate.

 

Our group rehearses and performs choral literature from all eras in widely ranging styles, languages, and cultural contexts.  This repertoire encompasses pieces for mixed, treble, tenor-bass, and chamber choruses, a cappella and with diverse instrumental accompaniment.  We rehearse twice a week: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 2:30-4:20 pm, in the Recital Hall (Fine Arts Center- Summerville Campus).
