Georgia Tech Chamber Choir

Welcome!

Georgia Tech Chamber Choir

The Chamber Choir is Georgia Tech’s premiere mixed vocal ensemble. Founded in 1998, the choir has established itself as one of the foremost college vocal ensembles in the Southern United States. Singers are selected through audition, and the Chamber Choir attracts the finest choral musicians on the Tech campus. Its members are principally all-state-level singers who have extensive background and experience in ensemble singing. The Chamber Choir performs challenging literature with a special emphasis on Baroque, and modern works. The GT Chamber Choir was recently featured with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, New Trinity Baroque Orchestra, Atlanta Opera, and Atlanta Baroque Orchestra. The Chamber Choir also recently won the top prize in the First Annual Conference of Music and Architecture at the University of Texas-Austin. The Chamber Choir was recently featured at the College Music Society National Conference, and served as the chorus in the Atlanta Ballet production of Mozart’s Magic Flute.

Current Events

After its successful tour of Napa Valley in Spring 2017, the Chamber Choir has been invited by the U.S. Embassy in Cyprus to perform on international tour to the island. Over this tour, the Choir will be bringing their own repertoire as well as collaborating with local Cypriot musicians and schools. The goal of the Chamber Choir is to promote music in the education process, especially in the STEM fields, and to give insight into the opportunities for higher education in the United States.
