Choir for practice

This year, the University of Montana Chamber Chorale, which is also participating in this year's Marktoberdorf International Chamber Choir Competition, will serve as the practice choir for the participants of the International Masterclass for Choral Conductors.

The University of Montana Chamber Chorale seeks to embed commitment to underrepresented composers in every program, performing the historic canon while promoting ethically sourced and previously overlooked repertoire. The ensemble prioritizes outreach to rural areas in our state, while seeking broad touring opportunities: UM Chamber Chorale will perform at the Northwest American Choral Directors Association (ACDA) Conference (March 2022), the 75th Festival of Music at the University of Saarbrücken, Germany (June 2022), Cadogan Hall and Southwark Cathedral in London (Vox Anima London, May 2022), and the Montana International Choral Festival (July 2019, 2022). The Chamber Chorale includes undergraduate and graduate students from a wide variety of majors, including Wildlife Biology, Forestry, Business, Musical Theater, English, Neuroscience, Music Performance, Music Education, and Music Composition.
