About

Eighteen members of the Concert Choir are selected by audition for a smaller vocal ensemble called the Chamber Singers. This group specializes in the Renaissance and twentieth-century vocal chamber music. The Chamber Singers appear with the Concert Choir at most of its concerts but also maintain their own seperate concert schedule, including performances at college chapel services. Every few years, during short term , members of the Chamber Singers produce a festive Renaissance Madrigial Dinner with singing, dancing, acting, custumes, lighting and a multi-course meal served in Elizabethan style.

Conductor

The conductor of the Choir's is Dr. Stephen Bolster, Professor of Music, and Chairperson of the Music Department. Dr. Bolster is a singer as well as a conductor and has both performed as a baritone soloist and conducted choirs at serveral colleges before coming to Berea in the fall of 1980.

If you enjoy choral music, good companionship, and the thrill of making music with others, please consider singing with us.
