University of Utah Chamber Choir
The 32 member University of Utah Chamber Choir offers experienced choral singers the
opportunity to explore challenging choral repertoire from the medivial, through contempory
periods, including works with orchestra. Chamber Choir performs two concerts a semester,
in addition to special engagements in the community, high school outreach, and regular
touring.
Through the overwhelmingly generous support of Carolyn and Kem Gardner, each member
of the Chamber Choir receives a $2,000 scholarship for the school year.
Reformed in 2012 in honor of former faculty and accomplished choral arranger Bernell
Hales, the 32 member Chamber Choir strives for the highest level of choral and artistic
excellence under the direction of Dr. Barlow Bradford. Chamber Choir strives to create
the most beautiful and exquisite music from a wide array of styles.
The Chamber Choir often collaborates with other ensembles, both from the School of
Music and off campus. This includes the Utah Symphony and Dr. Bradford's professional
choir, the Utah Chamber Artists.
Students in the Chamber Choir participate in the highest quality choral experience,
advancing their vocal technique, artistry, and musicianship. The Chamber Choir is
known for its beautifully clear and ringing sound, musical nuance, and impeccable
intonation.
For the 2021-22 school year, Visiting Director of Choirs, Dr. Austin Thorpe will direct
the Chamber Choir while Dr. Bradford is on sabbatical.
